Winnipeg Jets forward Nikolaj Ehlers will miss the rest of the regular season with an upper-body injury, head coach Paul Maurice said Monday.

Ehlers suffered the ailment Saturday after receiving a hit from Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Jake Muzzin, although he finished the contest.

The dynamic winger was enjoying a career campaign. Ehlers ranked second on the club in both goals (21) and points (46) through 47 games. He was playing at a career-best 36-goal pace over a full 82-game season.
