Jets recall JC Lipon, Hellberg goes back to the Rangers - NHL Round Up

Jets left winger Nikolaj Ehlers is out indefinitely with an eye injury after being hit in the face by the puck during the game-ending play in overtime on Thursday night.

The 20-year-old Ehlers, who has 13 goals and 31 points in his rookie season with Winnipeg, just missed giving his team a rare come-from-behind win on a two-on-one against the New York Islanders, only to back check on the ensuing rush and have Frans Nielsen's wild shot hit him in the face and land on Kyle Okposo's stick.

Lipon was recalled for the second time this season. He played in two games with Winnipeg after joining the Jets on Jan. 17. Lipon has played 45 games for Manitoba this season, recording 30 points (13 goals, 17 assists) and 87 penalty minutes.
