Nikolaj Ehlers - NHL News & Rumors

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.
