Ehlers Adds an Assist in Carolina's Shootout Loss at Edmonton

Nikolaj Ehlers had a modest night for Carolina in a 6-5 overtime-and-shootout loss to Edmonton. He finished with one assist, no goals and a plus-minus of zero.

He played 17:04 over 24 shifts, tenth in ice time among the 18 Hurricanes skaters and sixth among the team's 12 forwards. His one point came at even strength. He put one shot on goal and had a takeaway, with no giveaways, hits or penalty minutes. On the power play he had one shot attempt but no shot on goal and no points.

This was close to his usual workload. He averages 16.3 minutes a game this season and has 3 goals and 6 assists in 12 games. One assist fits that pace, and one shot on goal is below his average of about two a game (25 shots over 12 games).

Carolina arrived at 8-2-1 and left with the loss in the extra frame.
