The forward missed time with a lower-body injury but is active for the playoff series.
Nikolaj Ehlers returned Saturday night after a lower-body injury sidelined him during Carolina’s first-round sweep of Ottawa. The Hurricanes defeated Philadelphia 3-0 in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. Ehlers’ availability shapes Carolina’s forward depth for the series; his status for Game 2 and beyond depends on how the injury responds to playoff workload.
