Nikolaj Ehlers is on track to break his career-high points total, currently at 61 with the Winnipeg Jets, just three shy of his best season. His consistent performance is attributed to focusing on his game rather than the milestones or financial implications, as he prepares for unrestricted free agency after this season.

The Jets have secured a playoff spot and are leading the Western Conference, underscoring Ehlers’ importance to their playoff aspirations. His coach praises his improved two-way game and ability to leverage his speed effectively on the ice, adding his contributions to the power play, where he has netted six goals this season.
