Disaster avoided:
After being down for a moment or two, Nikolaj Ehlers got back up and skated off on his own. He was skating fine with his teammates shortly thereafter. After skate head coach Scott Arniel indicated that Ehlers “He seemed better. He just got a little bit spooked on it. He kind of hit skates with Scheif and I think he just kind of tweaked himself a bit. But I think he’s fine.”
Heinola watch:
Jets defenceman Ville Heinola had to have surgery to fix his ankle. The last few days he’s been seen around the rink working on his stick handling and today he was even on the ice (in flip flops).
