Winnipeg Jets forward Nikolaj Ehlers is making strides as he builds up for a potential return from a right foot injury.
Ehlers, who has been out on a week-to-week basis since his last game appearance on April 12, is no longer wearing a non-contact jersey at practice.
He was on a line with Adam Lowry and Cole Perfetti at today’s morning skate at Enterprise Center ahead of Game 6 against the St. Louis Blues.
