6 years agoWinnipeg Jets left wing Nikolaj Ehlers (upper body) is still not ready to return for the current road trip which starts Monday in Philadelphia and wraps up Thursday in Columbus. He has been sidelined since Jan. 4 due to an upper-body injury. "He wasn't gonna play on this trip and he can get better treatment at home," head coach Paul Maurice said. Winger Mason Appleton is back from Manitoba of the AHL. He has two goals and five points through 22 games with the big club. Fantasy owners need to be patient with Ehlers at this point, as it still might be weeks and not days until his return.--Daniel Dobish
