Latest news
Ehlers notched two assists, including one on the power play, fired four shots on net and went plus-2 in Sunday's 7-0 win over the Jets.
Ehlers' point streak is up to six games (three goals, six assists). Both of his multi-point efforts this season have come during the streak. The 30-year-old winger is up to a total of 14 points (six on the power play), 34 shots on net and a plus-5 rating through 16 appearances, making him a reliable source of offense in Carolina's top six.

Ehlers tallied a power-play goal, put two shots on net and recorded two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Blues.
Ehlers placed the lone insurance tally of the third period on the board to secure the 4-0 win. The 30-year-old winger has been effective on the power play in 2026-27, as five of his 10 total points across 13 appearances have come with the extra man. Currently riding a three-game point streak, Ehlers is well positioned to contend for the 60-point threshold for the fourth consecutive regular season while skating in a top-six role and on the No. 1 power-play unit.

Ehlers scored twice on four shots, added an assist and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Canucks.
This was Ehlers' first multi-point effort of the season. He worked well alongside Logan Stankoven and Jackson Blake on the second line, as each of those forwards had a three-point game. Ehlers is up to three tallies, five assists, 23 shots on net and a minus-1 rating over 11 appearances. Ehlers started slow in 2025-26 as well before working his way to a career year and a point-per-game pace in the postseason. In other words, Tuesday's effort was likely just the beginning of his surge for the year.

Ehlers scored the game-winning goal on the power play in Saturday's 3-2 victory over the Jets.
Facing the team he spent the first 10 seasons of his NHL career with, Ehlers broke a 2-2 tie early in the third period with a rocket from the high slot. It was the 30-year-old winger's first goal of 2026-27, and after delivering a career-high 71 points (26 goals, 45 assists) over 82 regular-season games for the Stanley Cup champions in his Carolina debut last year, Ehlers has five points in nine games to kick off the current campaign, with all but one helper coming on the power play.

Ehlers scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 6-0 preseason win over the Predators.
Both points came in the first period as the Hurricanes raced out to a 3-0 lead. Ehlers is coming off a strong introductory campaign with Carolina, producing 26 goals and a career-high 71 points in 82 regular-season games before adding eight goals and 18 points in 18 playoff contests en route to a Stanley Cup title. The 30-year-old winger should continue to occupy prominent roles for the Hurricanes in 2026-27.

Ehlers scored an empty-net goal on three shots in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Golden Knights in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
It's not every year that a big splash in free agency pays off, but Ehlers brought everything the Hurricanes could have asked for. His tally to seal the championship was his eighth goal of the playoffs, and he added 10 assists, 39 shots, 14 hits and a plus-9 rating over 18 appearances. He also had a 26-goal, 71-point effort -- a career-best year -- during the regular season. This was just the first campaign of a six-year deal, so expect Ehlers to be an early-round pick in fantasy drafts in the fall.
