CALGARY — On paper, Nikolaj Ehlers would seem to be a good milk-carton candidate.
The 19-year-old Winnipeg Jets rookie right-winger has now gone eight games without a point and 10 without a goal.
After a small flurry early in the season when he scored four goals in his first nine NHL games, the first-round draft pick of 2014 has just one marker in the last 25 games.
These are not the kinds of numbers offensive players brag about but Ehlers and his coach, Paul Maurice, made the case Tuesday it’s still premature to be sending his picture to dairy companies.
