Ehlers seems to have suffered the injury at some point during the Jets’ 4-1 loss to the Dallas Stars on Monday. The talented forward played almost 22 minutes in that game and registered an assist. Ehlers has three assists on the season in the two games he has played.
The injury has already cost Ehlers two games, and we now know he won’t play Saturday when the Jets host the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Jets have not stated the exact nature of the injury outside of it’s to his lower body. The earliest Ehlers can return to the Jets would be Thursday versus the Los Angeles Kings.
The Jets are -164 (+1.5) on the puck line, and +150 on the money line, with an over/under of seven, over (-108), and under (-132) versus the Leafs on Saturday. You can find the lines and props for this game and all others at FanDuel.com.
