Denmark was once a top-level mainstay, with the likes of Nikolaj Ehlers and Oliver Bjorkstrand keeping the team relevant in the top event from 2015-19.
On a recent edition of the FAN Hockey Show, NHL insider Elliotte Friedman broke down what he believes is going wrong with the Winnipeg Jets this season.
The Carolina Hurricanes hosted the Calgary Flames on Sunday, Nov. 30, as they wrapped up the second-to-last month of 2025. The Hurricanes were looking to build off their 5-1 win against the Winnipeg Jets on Friday, Nov.
Nikolaj Ehlers scored with 2:08 remaining in overtime to give the Carolina Hurricanes a 1-0 victory against the Calgary Flames on Sunday in Raleigh, N.C.
NHL head coaches have to hire good assistants. They have to set an overarching philosophy, juggle lineup configurations, and do the kind of “man management” that is impossible to track statistically.
While the Carolina Hurricanes have been dealing with a multitude of injuries through the first 18 games of the season, they’re 12-5-1 and are fourth in the NHL in points.

The Carolina Hurricanes took a big swing this past offseason, signing veteran winger Nikolaj Ehlers to a six-year contract during free agency. The deal brought the multiple-time 20-goal scorer to Carolina through the 2030-2031 season and made him the team's second-highest-paid forward.
After signing both K’Andre Miller and Nikolaj Ehlers, it seemed that the Carolina Hurricanes addressed what they needed to heading into the 2025-26 season.
Nikolaj Ehlers scored a tiebreaking goal in the first minute of the second period to cap a dizzying stretch and the Carolina Hurricanes held on to defeat the Minnesota Wild 4-3 on Thursday night in Raleigh, N.C.
NHL insider Jeff Marek revealed the reason Nikolaj Ehlers chose to sign with the Hurricanes is because they offered the most term than anyone else. The Winnipeg Jets finished the 2024-25 season with the league's best regular-season record but crashed in the playoffs without making it to at least the third round for the third consecutive season.
The Winnipeg Jets finished the 2024–25 season with the league’s best regular-season record but crashed out of the playoffs before making it to the conference finals for the third consecutive season. Then, a few days into free agency, star forward Nikolaj Ehlers left Winnipeg to sign with the Carolina Hurricanes as an unrestricted free agent.

While most of the top free agents in this year's class chose to stay with their current teams, some even taking significant discounts to stay where they're happy, Nikolaj Ehlers took a completely different approach.
The Winnipeg Jets are now in their post-Nikolaj Ehlers era as the dynamic Danish forward signed a six-year deal worth $8.5 million per year with the Carolina Hurricanes on July 3.
The Carolina Hurricanes signed forward Nikolaj Ehlers on Thursday to a six-year, $51 million contract with an average annual value of $8.5 million through the 2030-31 season.
Heading into July 1, there really weren’t many game-changing players that were projected to hit the market. With free agency coming early and a lot of players deciding to stay with their original teams, there were only five forwards who scored over 40 points last season.
The top remaining free agent is off the board. According to multiple reports, the Carolina Hurricanes have signed forward Nikolaj Ehlers to a six-year contract.
One of the lesser talked about free agents this summer, particularly on the higher end of the market, is Nikolaj Ehlers. The Danish winger has spent all ten seasons of his career with the Winnipeg Jets, but all signs seem to point to him going to market.
The Winnipeg Jets have a big decision to make on Nikolaj Ehlers this summer, but according to a report, he may be on the way out as a big time free agent.
As the NHL salary cap increases over the next few seasons, Winnipeg Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff faces a crucial decision. Should he re-sign star forward Nikolaj Ehlers?
