Today at game day skate Jets coach Paul Maurice provided updates on the status of Winnipeg Jets rookie Nikolaj Ehlers who hasn’t played since he took a puck to the face shield in overtime against the Islanders.

According to Ted Wyman of the Winnipeg Sun:

Maurice said Ehlers out until at least next weekend. Next doc appointment is Thursday for eye injury.

And via Sara Orlesky of TSN:

light activity right now. Next key date in his recovery is Thursday. Will see if he can increase activity a bit more then.

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.
