The team is very confident that Ehlers will be back for the playoffs and that's great news for Jets fans. The team needs his production if they are going to win a playoff series. So far this season in 47 games the former first-round pick has 46 points.

Ehlers is leading his team in even strength goals and has scored five game-winners. The Jets are solified in the playoff picture in the North division so the only focus now is getting up to game speed some playoff time and starting the first round healthy.
