LAS VEGAS — It was illness, not injury, that kept Nikolaj Ehlers out of the lineup for Game 3. And the flashy Winnipeg Jets forward looks to return to the lineup tonight for a pivotal Game 4 against the Vegas Golden Knights.
Winnipeg trails the best-of-seven series 2-1 and will be looking to avoid a third straight loss against the expansion club in the Western Conference final.
The team confirmed Friday morning that Ehlers is available for tonight's game.
"The good news is it’s not a best-of-three series, it’s a best-of-seven series. We came into this series approaching it that way.
