Winnipeg Jets forward Nikolaj Ehlers has his eyes set on qualifying Team Denmark for the 2026 Winter Olympics for just the second time in history.
It was recently announced that Nikolaj Ehlers has been called into action for Team Denmark. The team has crucial qualifying matchups later this month against Great Britain, Japan, and Norway.
Ehlers along with fellow NHLers Frederik Anderson, Lars Eller, Oliver Bjorkstrand, Mads Sogaard and Jonas Rondbjerg are the favourites heading into a group with Great Britain, Japan, and Norway and - if all goes according to plan - should take care of business easily in the qualifying stage.

The 2026 Olympics will also mark the first time NHL talent will be allowed in the tournament since 2014 in Sochi. With a Denmark team that finished seventh in the 2022 Olympics adding some NHL talent they could be an underdog heading into Italy.
Ehlers, who has been previously known to have a slow start to the regular season will have a serious edge this year. The intense qualifying matchups will have Ehlers game ready come October for the Winnipeg Jets.
