Nikolaj Ehlers scores hat trick, adds assist as Jets defeat Oilers
EDMONTON — Nikolaj Ehlers hit the scoresheet for the first time this season in dramatic fashion on Monday night.
The left-winger had a hat trick and an assist as the Winnipeg Jets captured their first win of the young season by defeating the Edmonton Oilers 5-2.
“We all knew what we needed to do and are capable of,” Ehlers said. “We didn’t do that the first two games, but we showed it tonight. We played good tonight, simple and fast. We were able to find the holes. We just have to be able to find a way to keep that going.”
Mark Scheifele had a goal and two assists and Dmitry Kulikov also scored for the Jets (1-2-0).
