Winnipeg Jets forward Nikolaj Ehlers returned to the lineup in Friday's Game 6 against the St. Louis Blues.
Ehlers injured his foot in a collision with a referee on April 12, and he was given a week-to-week timeline to return.
The 29-year-old skated on Winnipeg's second line with Adam Lowry and Cole Perfetti. The Jets will be without top center Mark Scheifele for Game 6 after he was injured in the club's 5-3 victory on Wednesday.
Ehlers notched 63 points in 69 games this season, good for third on the Jets.
