Ehlers was placed on injured reserve retroactive to Oct. 18th. The forward had three assists and seven SOG in two games to start the 2022-23 season prior to the injury.
Ehlers was a game-time decision Wednesday but it appears he will not dress after failing to take warmups for the Jets Wednesday.

Ehlers has been sidelined with a knee injury since January 18th but was cleared for contact on Thursday, a big step towards him returning to the lineup.

Expect the Jets to provide an update after practice.
The move to LTIR means that Ehlers will have to miss 10 games or 24 days, whichever comes first. In Ehlers' case, he won't be eligible to play until February 14th vs. the Blackhawks.
Ehlers suffered a knee injury in a knee-on-knee collision with Dmitry Orlov on Tuesday. Orlov was suspended for two games for the hit but it looks like it's going to cost Ehlers a lot more time.
Ehlers suffered a lower-body injury in Tuesday's game after a knee-on-knee hit from Dmitry Orlov. Head coach Dave Lowry already ruled Ehlers out for Thursday's game and said he could be out longer. Luckily for the Jets, they are expecting to get Paul Stastny back to replace Ehlers.
