The Winnipeg Jets won't have forward Nikolaj Ehlers in the lineup for Game 3 of the Western Conference Final versus the Vegas Golden Knights on Wednesday, the team announced prior to puck drop.

Here's a look at the Jets' projected lineup with Ehlers out, with Brandon Tanev sliding into his usual spot alongside Paul Stastny and Patrik Laine.

While Ehlers is listed as a scratch, the 22-year-old is dealing with an unknown injury, per TSN's Frank Seravalli.

Ehlers was scratched from Game 5 of the opening-round series versus the Minnesota Wild and has recorded seven assists in 13 contests so far in the postseason.
