Nikolaj Ehlers slid to try to block an empty better and crashed into the boards. Looks like he's hurting on the bench on the broadcast. That's a horrible way to end a game.
Not a great angle but can suffer a separated shoulder (depends on grade of injury) and/or broken collarbone (8-12+ weeks) with this mechanism
Presume Jets will have a good idea tonight on the diagnosis for Ehlers as both injuries can be diagnosed after X-ray
These were some pretty hefty injuries Ehlers was facing but following getting checked out, it seems like Ehlers is no worse for wear.
Ehlers' Injury Status
It has just been reported that Ehlers is practicing with the Jets and is preparing for their next game.
Good news: Nikolaj Ehlers is out here for #NHLJets practice, none the worse for wear. He ended Wednesday's game in Calgary looking less then 100 per cent.
Hopefully, for the Jets, Ehlers is ready for their game against the Florida Panthers. If so, it is likely he just got a bit banged up and will not be missing any time for this collision.
