Deposits power-play goal in win Ehlers tallied a power-play goal, put two shots on net and recorded two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Blues.

Impact Ehlers placed the lone insurance tally of the fourth period on the board to secure the 4-0 win. The 30-year-old winger has been highly effective on the power play in 2026-27, where he's compiled five of his 10 total points across 13 appearances. Currently riding a three-game point streak, Ehlers is heating up as a fantasy option. With a secure role in the team's top six and on the top power-play unit, he's a strong waiver-wire pickup in fantasy for the time being. Extend him to contend for the 60-plus point threshold for the fourth consecutive season.

Racks up three points in win Ehlers scored twice on four shots, added an assist and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Canucks.

Impact This was Ehlers' first multi-point effort of the season. He worked well alongside Logan Stankoven and Jackson Blake on the second line, as each of those forwards had a three-point game. Ehlers is up to three tallies, five assists, 23 shots on net and a minus-1 rating over 11 appearances. Ehlers started slow in 2025-26 as well before working his way to a career year and a point-per-game pace in the postseason. In other words, Tuesday's effort was likely just the beginning of his surge for the year.

Notches game-winner against former club Ehlers scored the game-winning goal on the power play in Saturday's 3-2 victory over the Jets.

Impact Facing the team he spent the first 10 seasons of his NHL career with, Ehlers broke a 2-2 tie early in the third period with a rocket from the high slot. It was the 30-year-old winger's first goal of 2026-27, and after delivering a career-high 71 points (26 goals, 45 assists) over 82 regular-season games for the Stanley Cup champions in his Carolina debut last year, Ehlers has five points in nine games to kick off the current campaign, with all but one helper coming on the power play.

Two points in Saturday's preseason win Ehlers scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 6-0 preseason win over the Predators.

Impact Both points came in the first period as the Hurricanes raced out to a 3-0 lead. Ehlers is coming off a strong first season with Carolina, producing 26 goals and career-high 71 points in 82 regular-season games before adding eight goals and 18 points in 18 playoff contests en route to a Stanley Cup title. The 30-year-old winger should have a prominent spot once again in a deep forward corps, and on the power play.

Pots empty-netter in Game 6 win Ehlers scored an empty-net goal on three shots in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Golden Knights in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

Impact It's not every year where a big splash in free agency pays off, but Ehlers brought everything the Hurricanes could have asked for. His tally to seal the championship was his eighth goal of the playoffs, and he added 10 assists, 39 shots, 14 hits and a plus-9 rating over 18 appearances. He also had a 26-goal, 71-point effort -- a career-best year -- during the regular season. This was just the first campaign of a six-year deal, so expect Ehlers to be an early-round pick in fantasy drafts in the fall.

Distributes three assists Ehlers notched three assists, including two on the power play, and added four PIM in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

Impact Ehlers had two penalties for putting the puck over the glass in this contest, but he more than made up for it with his generosity on offense. This was his second three-point game in a row, and he's up to eight points over five contests against Vegas. Throughout the postseason, he's produced seven goals, 10 helpers, 36 shots on net, 14 hits and a plus-8 rating across 17 appearances as a vital part of the Hurricanes' offense.
