LAS VEGAS -- Nikolaj Ehlers just needed another 24 hours to convince his bosses he was ready to return to the Winnipeg Jets lineup.
The speedy winger will suit up tonight against the Vegas Golden Knights at T-Mobile Arena after a 20-game absence. He was out since Jan. 4 with an upper-body injury, believed to be either a problem with his wrist or shoulder.
"Like I said (Thursday) I feel 100 per cent, I feel good to go, we talked and it worked out," said Ehlers, after the club's 30-minute morning skate.
