Ehlers picked up two assists in a 6-3 win over the Rangers on Tuesday.
Ehlers has 20 points, including 11 assists, in 16 games this season, and he's on pace to obliterate his career high of 64 points from 2016-17. His 20.9 shooting percentage is too high -- his career mark is 11.9 percent, so there will be some regression in his sniping. Ehlers remains an elite fantasy option right now, but you might want to consider selling high in a trade if you don't think his current 103-point pace is sustainable.

Jets' Nikolaj Ehlers: Nabs power-play helper
Rotowire
Ehlers recorded a power-play assist in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Oilers.
Ehlers was listed on the second line but saw just 13:52 of ice time in the contest. Linemates Cole Perfetti and Vladislav Namestnikov were also low on ice time, as the Jets got better performances from their third line in the season opener. Ehlers had 61 points last season, with just seven of them coming on the power play. If he can be more productive with the man advantage, he could be in line for a career year, though that may be tougher to do without reliable ice time even if he remains on the second line throughout the campaign.
