Through the first five games of the season, heading into Tuesday night’s matchup with the Edmonton Oilers, Nikolaj Ehlers has had a bit of a nightmarish start — at least on the surface.
He had zero points and only nine shots on goal, a pace that’s just under 64 per cent of his shot rate from last season. After struggling to fill the net in last year’s playoff run, Ehlers’ struggles appear to be more extensive than just a five-game slump offensively.
