Ehlers notched two power-play assists in Monday's 3-2 overtime win over the Rangers.
Scouting Report
Skill is not his issue; he is slick with the puck and can create plays or finish them. Anyone on his line is usually a threat to score, and he can play either wing. When he is on the ice, the puck is usually going the right way for his team, and he is quite dangerous on the power play. However, his lack of size continues to contribute to a career-long run of injury issues.
Long Range Potential: Smallish but very skilled scoring winger (when healthy).
