We knew, as of four days ago, that Nikolaj Ehlers was slated to have surgery for his sports hernia. Today Sean Reynolds of Sportsnet is reporting:

Nik Ehlers was in Detroit this morning and had surgery for a sports hernia. His timeline for recovery is 6 weeks.

Interesting timeline on recovery which could have actually been much worse. Of course this is likely just an estimate.

Ehlers has been limited to just two games this season for Winnipeg.

Update:

Jets head coach in his media availability (as per Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet) confirmed that Ehlers had surgery but indicated that the recovery is eight weeks.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
