Tallies early in win Ehlers scored a goal on five shots in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Islanders.

Impact While many of the Hurricanes' big-name players were held out of some games recently, Ehlers remained a fixture in the lineup. He ended up playing in all 82 regular-season contests for the second time in three years and the fourth time in his 11-year career. He was the only Hurricane to not miss a game. The 30-year-old winger also finished with a career-high 71 points (26 goals, 45 assists), as well as 207 shots on net and a plus-8 rating. Ehlers should be a regular in the middle six during the postseason, but he'll also be a major part of the power play.

The veteran winger has also hit 70 points on the season for the very first time.

He needs one more point to establish a career high, which would surpass his 64-point total from 2016-17.

Opens scoring on power play Ehlers tallied a power-play goal and fired five shots on net in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to Montreal.

Impact Ehlers found the back of the net on a power play less than three minutes into regulation. The 30-year-old winger now has 22 goals, 59 points and 178 shots on net through 71 games this season. His first year in Carolina has been a strong campaign for his offensive numbers, as he sits just five points away from setting a new career high in points. He has excelled in March with seven goals and 15 points across 12 games, making him a strong player to roster in all league formats for the remainder of the fantasy playoffs.

Impact Ehlers snapped his seven-game goal drought with a power-play tally in this win, giving the Hurricanes a 2-0 lead early in the second period with a slap shot. He's found ways to remain productive even if he's not scoring much, though. Ehlers has cracked the scoresheet in eight of his 11 appearances this month, tallying 14 points (six goals, eight assists), a plus-4 rating and a sky-high -- and unsustainable -- 21.8 shot percentage in that span.
