Nikolaj Ehlers of the Winnipeg Jets is facing a week-to-week recovery due to a right foot injury, reinjured after colliding with an official. His absence could impact the Jets' playoff strategy as they prepare for the postseason.

Head coach Scott Arniel confirmed that Ehlers had previously suffered a lower-body injury this season, making his contribution of 63 points in 69 games even more critical. Meanwhile, teammate Gabriel Vilardi has been upgraded to day-to-day, which could bolster the Jets' offensive capabilities in the coming games. Defenseman Dylan Samberg has also returned to practice after a minor injury.
