More shots from danger zones, better passing elevate Danish forward's game
During the early stages of the 2018-19 NHL season, it seemed like Winnipeg Jets foward Nikolaj Ehlers was carrying over some of the offensive struggles he endured a year ago. After breaking down his work in October, it’s fair to say I was quite confused as to why nothing was working for him.
Puck luck can be a merciless beast but thanks to his persistence Ehlers has broken through, and two months later as the squad nears the mid-point of the season, the talented player from Denmark is on pace for a career-high in goals (33) and as many points as last season (60).
