It sounded ominous when associate coach Scott Arniel didn’t have much of an update on Nikolaj Ehlers ahead of the game against Vegas simply indicating the team might have an update on Saturday.

Today team PR tweeted out:

The Jets have placed Nikolaj Ehlers on injured reserve, retroactive to Oct. 18, and recalled F – Dominic Toninato from the Manitoba Moose (AHL).

Tough news for Ehlers and the Jets. The earliest he would be eligible to return is October 25th which means he will miss the next two home games (at minimum) against the Leafs and Blues.

For Dominic Toninato, who played in Sunday’s 4-0 win for the Moose over the IceHogs, it means a return to the NHL.

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.
