WINNIPEG — The Winnipeg Jets placed have forward Nikolaj Ehlers on injured reserve with a lower-body injury, the NHL club said Tuesday.
The move is retroactive to Friday, when Ehlers left Winnipeg’s 4-3 loss at Vegas after Golden Knights winger Pavel Dorofeyev stepped on his foot while Ehlers was delivering a hit. Jets coach Scott Arneil said after the injury that Ehlers was considered day-to-day.
Ehlers’s absence will be felt for the Jets, who entered their game Tuesday against visiting St. Louis on a three-game losing streak. He has nine goals and 15 assists in 23 games this season.
The Jets (18-7-0) recalled forward Brad Lambert from the American Hockey League’s Manitoba Moose to fill Ehlers’s roster spot.
