Fantasy Impact
While it's nice to see Ehlers add three assists last night, it is even more encouraging to see him put 8 shots on goal. If he can stay up on the top line with Scheifele and Wheeler while continuing to have a shooters mentality, we could be looking at a massive breakout season for Nikolaj Ehlers.
