Ehlers returns to Jets’ lineup for Game 4

Forward Nikolaj Ehlers will return to the Winnipeg Jets' lineup for Game 4 of the Western Conference Final on Friday after missing Game 3 with an illness, the team confirmed.

Ehlers' return will reunite the club's second line alongside Patrik Laine and Paul Stastny. Jack Roslovic - who replaced Ehlers for Game 3 - remains in the lineup with Joel Armia serving as a scratch.

While Ehlers is still looking for his first goal of the playoffs, he has contributed seven assists in 13 games.

In other roster news, goaltender Michael Hutchinson will back up Connor Hellebuyck rather than Steve Mason.
