Jets’ Ehlers, Dubois won’t play Game 1 vs. Oilers

Winnipeg Jets head coach Paul Maurice confirmed that forwards Nikolaj Ehlers and Pierre-Luc Dubois wouldn't be in the team's lineup for Game 1 against the Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.

Both skaters were on the ice wearing non-contact jerseys during Wednesday morning's practice.

These were the club's line rushes at practice Tuesday:

The Jets previously ruled Ehlers out for the remainder of the regular season after he suffered an upper-body injury in late April. However, Maurice indicated he expected him to return for the postseason. The dynamic forward finished the season with 21 goals and 25 assists in 47 games.

Dubois suffered an undisclosed injury during Winnipeg's regular-season finale against the Toronto Maple Leafs last week. He finished the campaign with eight goals and 12 assists in 41 games with the Jets after being traded from the Columbus Blue Jackets.
