Ehlers scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Oilers.
Ehlers' point streak is up to seven games (four goals, four assists). The 29-year-old winger tied the game with his tally early in the second period. For the season, he has 12 points, 52 shots on net and a plus-6 rating, but he's done well to overcome his slow start and become the player the Hurricanes wanted when they signed him to a six-year contract in the offseason.

Hurricanes' Nikolaj Ehlers: Nets first goal of season
Rotowire
Ehlers scored a power-play goal on six shots in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Rangers.
Ehlers' first-period tally opened the scoring. It was the winger's first goal of the campaign. He's been heating up after a slow start, with all five of his points coming in the last seven games, but the Hurricanes had him on the second line at even strength in Tuesday's contest due to a lineup shuffle. Ehlers has added 34 shots on net and a plus-1 rating over 12 appearances -- given that shot volume, it's only a matter of time before his luck turns around.

Hurricanes' Nikolaj Ehlers: Gets on scoresheet with assist
Rotowire
Ehlers notched an assist, two shots on goal and four PIM in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Golden Knights.
Ehlers found the scoresheet for the first time as a Hurricane when he helped out on a Sebastian Aho goal in the second period. This game was a matchup between Ehlers and Mitch Marner, the two biggest names who were on the move during the offseason. In addition to the assist, Ehlers has 20 shots on net and a plus-1 rating through six appearances with Carolina, so he's still getting looks. As long as he continues to play alongside Aho and Seth Jarvis, he should be able to get his game on track, though there may still be some growing pains for Ehlers as he adjusts to his new team.
Ehlers agreed to terms on a six-year, $51 million contract with Carolina on Thursday.
Ehlers is coming off back-to-back 20-plus goal campaigns, including the 2024-25 season in which he still managed to rack up 24 goals despite playing in just 69 regular-season contests. With his new club, the 29-year-old winger should immediately slot into a top-six role in addition to joining the No. 1 power-play unit. Ehlers' presence in the lineup should allow Taylor Hall to drop down to the third line, where he may be better suited at this point in his career.
Ehlers scored two goals on five shots in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Stars in Game 5.
Ehlers gave the Jets a 2-0 lead early in the third period with a power-play tally, and he added a shorthanded empty-netter to close out the contest. This effort gave Ehlers five goals and a helper over five games in the second round. The winger is at seven points (two on the power play) with 30 shots on net, 12 hits and a plus-2 rating over seven playoff appearances.
Ehlers scored a goal on five shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Stars in Game 4.
Ehlers tied the game early in the second period just after a power play expired. The 29-year-old has three goals and a helper in four second-round games versus the Stars, and he's at five points 25 shots, 12 hits and a plus-1 rating over six playoff outings. Ehlers continues to play on the second line and first power-play unit, and he's been impactful on offense.
