It seemed like an harmless collision, with Ehlers who incurred himself unconsciously in the guarding on the blue line of the Blackhawks while waiting for a passage of breakouts. But after being prone to the ice for a minute or two, Ehlers had to be helped by the teammates Adam Lowry and Mason Appleton, who led him from the ice. Ehlers did not put any weight on the right leg and did not return for the third period. The guard, Tobias, remained in the game.
Ehlers is the third marker of the Jets League with 63 points in 68 games.
