Jets forward Nikolaj Ehlers will miss at least two more games with an undisclosed injury

WINNIPEG — The Winnipeg Jets have placed Nikolaj Ehlers on injured reserve, the team announced Friday.

The move, retroactive to Tuesday, means the winger will miss at least Saturday’s visit from the Toronto Maple Leafs and Monday’s game with the St. Louis Blues.

Ehlers, who has three assists in two games this season, has already missed two games with the undisclosed injury.

The ninth pick in the 2014 NHL Draft had 164 goals and 361 points in 480 regular season games with the Jets.

He added four goals and 12 points in 31 playoff appearances.

In a corresponding move, Winnipeg recalled forward Dominic Toninato from the Manitoba Moose of the American Hockey League.
