Ekblad scored a goal Saturday in a 6-0 win over Carolina. - It was Ekblad's first regular-season goal since scoring against the Ottawa Senators on Feb. 20, 2024. He is currently on a three-game, four-point scoring streak (nine shots), and he has 13 points in 25 games this season. Ekblad may never replicate his 57 points in 61 games in 2021-22, but he's a solid fantasy play as a possible 40-plus point defender with a strong plus-minus, some production on the power play and the willingness to wire the puck from the point. |

Ekblad recorded an assist, three shots on goal, two hits, seven PIM and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Jets. - Ekblad had endured a five-game drought after his three-assist game versus the Stars on Nov. 1. The 28-year-old defenseman has had limited offense so far with seven assists over 18 contests, though he's gotten on the scoresheet in just four games. He's added 24 shots on net, 21 PIM, 23 blocked shots, 30 hits and a plus-6 rating. Ekblad continues to fill a top-four role for the Panthers, so his offense should get more consistent over time. |

Ekblad notched three assists in Friday's 6-4 win over the Stars. - Ekblad portrayed his versatility in Friday's victory -- he generated one helper at even strength, one on the power play and one shorthanded. The right-shot blueliner added three shots, one takeaway and a plus-2 rating to go along with a team-high 22:45 of ice time. Ekblad has logged two multi-point performances this season, but he's found the scoresheet in just three of his 12 appearances. Overall, the Ontario native has produced six assists and a plus-3 rating, but he's yet to find the back of the net in 2024-25. |

Ekblad picked up two assists in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights. - The veteran blueliner had failed to record a point in five straight games, but Ekblad got off the schneid by helping set up tallies by Sam Reinhart in the second period and Eetu Luostarinen in the third. Adam Boqvist has been handling the point on the Panthers' top power-play unit but has just one point, an assist, through his first six contests this season -- if Ekblad gets rolling, he could reclaim that spot fairly quickly. |
None |
| Oct. 6, 2024 |
Ekblad notched three assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's preseason win over the Kings. - The 28-year-old blueliner had a helper in every period, giving him a full head of steam heading into the regular season. Ekblad's had difficulty staying healthy in his career and is coming off a disappointing 2023-24 campaign in which he managed only four goals and 18 points in 51 regular-season games, but with Brandon Montour now in Seattle, the Panthers will be counting on Ekblad to bounce back in a big way this season. |

Ekblad scored a goal on four shots in Monday's 4-1 victory over Edmonton in Game 2. - Ekblad was able to bring a 31-game goal drought to a close, having last found the back of the net Feb. 20 versus the Senators. The blueliner's fantasy value figures to primarily come from defensive stats -- he has racked up 13 hits and 16 blocks in his last five games -- but adding some offensive production should bolster his outlook heading into Game 3 on Thursday. |
None |
| May 31, 2024 |
Ekblad recorded an assist in Thursday's 3-2 victory over the Rangers in Game 5. - Ekblad was able to bring his six-game pointless streak to a close with his helper Thursday but remains mired in a 29-game goal drought dating back to Feb. 20 versus the Senators. While the blueliner should continue to register plenty of hits and blocks in the postseason, fantasy players probably shouldn't be banking on him suddenly producing points regularly. |

Ekblad notched a shorthanded assist, eight hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 6-1 win over the Lightning in Game 5. - Ekblad set up the first of Aleksander Barkov's two goals in the game. Through five playoff contests, Ekblad has two helpers, six shots on net, 25 hits, nine blocked shots and a plus-4 rating.

Ekblad (undisclosed) will miss Thursday's game against the Senators. - The specific nature and severity of Ekblad's injury is currently unknown, but even if he's sidelined for an extended stretch, coach Paul Maurice fully expects the veteran defender to be ready for the first game of Florida's first-round playoff series. It's been somewhat of a dissapointing season for Ekblad from an offensive standpoint, as he's only picked up 18 points through 51 games, but he's recorded an admirable plus-27 rating over that stretch as a key fixture on the Panthers' blue line. |

Ekblad (undisclosed) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Canadiens, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports. - Ekblad saw just 7:16 of ice time in this contest. He recently returned from a lower-body injury that cost him seven contests, but the Panthers didn't elaborate on why he exited Tuesday's game. If he can't play Thursday versus the Senators, Josh Mahura or Tobias Bjornfot would draw into the lineup. |

Ekblad (lower body) failed to record a point in 22:13 of ice time during Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Islanders. - Returning from a seven-game absence caused by a collision with Vladimir Tarasenko, Ekblad saw his usual workload and was leaned on heavily on the penalty kill, seeing 7:47 with Florida down a man. It's been a tough season overall for the 28-year-old blueliner, who has only four goals and 17 points in 48 games, but with the Panthers having already clinched a playoff spot, Ekblad will use the final weeks of the regular season to try and regain his top form. |

Ekblad (lower body) will be back in the lineup versus the Islanders on Thursday, according to George Richards of Florida Hockey Now. - Ekblad sat out seven games with the injury. Ekblad missed the first 16 games of the season, recovering from offseason shoulder surgery, and has struggled offensively. The 28-year-old blueliner has only four goals and 17 points in 47 games. If he is unable to pick up the pace, he will miss hitting double digits in goals for only the second time in 10 years. Ekblad will line up alongside Gustav Forsling on the blue line and should see some second-unit power-play time. |
None |

Ekblad (lower body) is "close" to returning, but coach Paul Maurice wants the defender to log at least two "heavy practices" before rejoining the lineup, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports. - Ekblad will miss a seventh straight contest Tuesday against Boston, but it sounds like he could be ready to return sooner rather than later. The 28-year-old vet has had a down year from an offensive standpoint, picking up just 17 points through 47 contests. |

Ekblad (lower body) will be unavailable for at least two weeks and he'll be considered day-to-day afterward, according to Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site. - Ekblad was injured in a collision with teammate Vladimir Tarasenko in Saturday's 5-1 win over Calgary.

He sustained the injury when he collided with a teammate, according to Colby Guy of FloridaHockeyNow.com. Ekblad entered Saturday's action with four goals, 17 points, 44 PIM, 76 hits and 55 blocks in 46 appearances in 2023-24. Tobias Bjornfot, who was claimed off waivers from Vegas on Friday, might draw into the lineup Tuesday versus Dallas if Ekblad isn't available. |

Ekblad (lower body) is expected to be in the lineup versus the Senators on Tuesday, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports. - Ekblad has been struggling to produce offensively of late, as he has managed just one point in his last nine outings while adding 25 shots, 15 hits and 12 blocks.

Ekblad recorded seven shots against Washington on Thursday. - Despite Ekblad putting up a season-high seven shots, he remains stuck in a six-game pointless streak dating back to Jan. 19 versus Minnesota.

Ekblad earned a goal, three assists, and a plus-4 rating in Friday's 6-4 loss to the Wild. - Ekblad was a man on a mission in this home clash, but the Wild manufactured five power-play goals, plus an empty-net tally, to counter the defenseman's fiery attack. This was only the second multi-point game from Ekblad this season, and all of his offensive magic happened during 5-on-5 play. Ekblad has been downgraded to the No. 2 power-play unit, resulting in him netting just three man-advantage points -- with all of them being assists -- so far in 2023-24. Of course, a shoulder injury that required surgery caused Ekblad to get off to a late start to the campaign, and a minor lower-body issue crept up in December as well, so the Panthers are doing their part to manage the star blueliner's workload. |

Ekblad notched a power-play assist, four shots on goal and four PIM in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Golden Knights. - Ekblad has started to find his way on offense with a goal, three assists and 10 shots on net over the last five games.

Ekblad (lower body) is out for Saturday's game against Edmonton, Doug Plagens of the Panthers Radio Network reports. - While Ekblad's injury was deemed minor after he left Thursday's game in Vancouver, it'll keep him sidelined Saturday against the Oilers.

Ekblad exited Thursday's game versus the Canucks due to a lower-body injury, Colby Guy of Florida Hockey Now reports. - Ekblad's injury could be "less than day-to-day," per head coach Paul Maurice, but the team took him out of Thursday's game since they dressed seven defensemen. This sounds like a cautionary move, so Ekblad should be considered questionable to play Saturday in Edmonton. |

Ekblad picked up an assist while adding three shots on net, two blocked shots, two hits, two PIM and a plus-1 rating in Tuesday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Maple Leafs. - The point was his first six games since making his belated season debut following summer shoulder surgery. Ekblad is coming off a disappointing, injury-plagued campaign in which he managed only 38 points in 71 games, but even if he's able to stay healthy for the rest of this season, he could have trouble returning to the near point-a-game pace he produced in 2021-22 without regaining his spot on the top power-play unit from Brandon Montour. |

Ekblad (shoulder) has been taken off injured reserve ahead of Friday's matchup with Anaheim, per the NHL media site. - Ekblad looks set to make his season debut against the Ducks. Last season, the Ontario native managed 14 goals and 24 helpers, a significant drop in production from 2021-22 when he racked up 57 points. With the blueliner's return, he should see minutes with the man advantage after recording 19 of his 38 points last year on the power play. |

Ekblad (shoulder) may be available to play before the end of Florida's three-game road trip, per Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site. - Coach Paul Maurice said Tuesday that Friday's contest versus Anaheim could be a potential return date for Ekblad and Brandon Montour (shoulder).

Ekblad (shoulder) will practice with the Panthers on Sunday and accompany the team on next week's road trip, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. - The blueliner will be in a non-contact jersey Sunday as he takes a significant step forward in his recovery from offseason shoulder surgery. Coach Paul Maurice indicated Saturday that both Ekblad and Brandon Montour (shoulder) could be back in the lineup by the end of November, rather than the mid-December timeline the two defensemen were originally given. |

Ekblad (shoulder) was placed on long-term injured reserve on Tuesday, per PuckPedia. - Ekblad's move to LTIR shouldn't have an impact on his recovery schedule from shoulder surgery -- he's already been ruled out for at least the first month of the season. The Panthers now have a bit more wiggle room with the salary cap. Look for Gustav Forsling and Oliver Ekman-Larsson to see larger roles in early going. |

Ekblad (shoulder) is expected to be available at some point between November and January, David Dwork of Local 10 Miami reports. - General manager Bill Zito declined to give a specific timeline, but mentioned that both Ekblad and Brandon Montour (shoulder) will be out of action in October. Ekblad is recovering from shoulder surgery while also on the mend from a broken foot and an oblique tear that he played through in the postseason. With Ekblad out to begin the season, Gustav Forsling figures to take on a larger role in all situations, while Oliver Ekman-Larsson could be a candidate to pick up some power-play time. |

Ekblad, who also played through a broken foot and an oblique tear during the playoffs, will undergo shoulder surgery and is expected to miss the start of training camp, per Tim Reynolds of Associated Press. - Despite all the injuries, Ekblad had two goals, eight points, 20 PIM, 36 hits and 29 blocks in 20 playoff games while averaging 23:57 of ice time. The 27-year-old is a threat to record over 40 points in 2023-24 if he plays the full season, but his recovery from multiple injuries might throw a wrench in that. He's set to enter the seventh campaign of his eight-year, $60 million contract. |

Ekblad played through a broken foot, two shoulder dislocations and an oblique tear during the playoffs, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports. - The broken foot occurred during the first round, where Ekblad missed Game 4 versus the Bruins. That was his only absence during the playoffs, and he finished with two goals and six assists in 20 contests. Given the severity of the various injuries -- most notably the oblique tear -- the defenseman could be in danger of missing the start of the 2023-24 campaign. |

Ekblad produced an assist, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Golden Knights in Game 3. - Ekblad helped out on Matthew Tkachuk's game-tying goal late in the third period. This was just Ekblad's second assist in seven games since the start of the Eastern Conference Finals. The 27-year-old defenseman hasn't been as big of a contributor from the blue line as usual with seven points in 18 playoff appearances. He's added 24 shots on net, 31 hits, 27 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating. |

Ekblad scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Maple Leafs in Game 5 of the Panthers' second-round series. - The blueliner opened the scoring early in the first period, putting Toronto back on their heels during a game in which Florida never trailed. It's the second multi-point performance in the last three games for Ekblad, and he wraps up the five-game series against the Leafs with one goal and five points -- a remarkable turnaround after he failed to find the scoresheet at all in the first round against the Bruins. Ekblad may need to stay productive if the Panthers are going to get through the Hurricanes in the Eastern Conference Finals. |

Ekblad recorded a pair of assists in Sunday's 3-2 overtime victory over Toronto. - Ekblad set up Anthony Duclair's power-play tally early in the second period, tying the game 1-1, before picking up an assist on Sam Reinhart's winner in overtime.

The 27-year-old blueliner is also coming off a down regular season offensively, with 38 points (14 goals, 24 assists) in 71 games. Ekblad will look to build on Sunday's two-point effort, though his value is somewhat capped now with Brandon Montour taking over the point on Florida's top power-play unit. |

Ekblad registered an assist in Tuesday's Game 1 win over the Maple Leafs. - It was the first postseason point for Ekblad after he was held off the score sheet in six games against the Bruins. After setting career highs in assists and points in 2021-22, the 27-year-old blueliner's production came back down to normal levels with 14 goals and 38 points in 71 regular-season outings. It seems that drop in production has carried into the playoffs, though perhaps Tuesday's helper will spark Ekblad's offensive game. |

Ekblad (undisclosed) skated Saturday morning in a regular jersey, per George Richards of Florida Hockey Now. - Ekblad left Friday's contest with an undisclosed injury, so his presence at Saturday's practice is a positive sign.

Ekblad scored two goals, one on the power play, in Thursday's 9-5 win over the Canadiens. - His first tally of the night came a little over nine minutes into the first period and broke open what was already a 3-3 tie -- the first 20 minutes ended up seeing an incredible 10 goals in total, including a franchise-record seven by the Panthers. Ekblad had just one point, a goal, in his prior 12 contests, and the talented blueliner has 12 goals but only 30 points through 57 games on the season -- a far cry from the near point-a-game pace he managed in 2021-22. |

Ekblad earned a power-play goal in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Penguins. - Ekblad snapped out of an eight-game point drought and now has 10 goals and 18 assists through 53 contests, which mirrors his career points-per-game average (0.53). The venerable defenseman also has 14 points on the power play, as he's become a perennial double-digit producer in that key special teams spot. Florida desperately needs its top offensive weapons like Ekblad to pick up the pace as the team has a lot of work to do before it can sneak into the playoff picture. |

Ekblad collected two assists, one on the power play, in Monday's 7-1 win over the Lightning. - The 27-year-old blueliner picked up right where he left off before the All-Star break.

Ekblad suffered an upper-body injury during Saturday's game against Minnesota and is doubtful to return to the contest. - Ekblad logged just 1:50 of ice time before exiting the game. He entered Saturday's action with seven goals and 20 points in 36 contests this season while averaging 24:00.

Ekblad scored a goal and an assist, both on the power play, in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Canucks. - Both points came as part of a three-goal eruption by Florida in just over eight minutes during the second period, as Ekblad blasted home a one-timer from the faceoff circle before starting the play that resulted in Aleksander Barkov's eventual game-winner. After a rough stretch that saw Ekblad find the scoresheet just once in 12 games in December and early January, the 26-year-old blueliner is heating up, collecting three goals and five points in the last five contests. |

The helper came on Nick Cousins' tally in the first period. Fantasy managers would probably want to see a bit more offense out of Ekblad -- he's at 17 points with a minus-18 rating through 32 contests. The 26-year-old has added 85 shots on net, 44 blocked shots, 38 PIM and 29 hits to supplement his lackluster scoring numbers. |

Ekblad netted a pair of power-play goals in Friday's 3-2 win against Detroit. - Ekblad is up to six goals and 16 points in 29 contests in 2022-23. He entered the contest averaging 3:36 of ice time with the man advantage, and that role has been critical to his offensive production, given that 10 of his points have come on the power play. Ekblad's strong performance versus Detroit might help spark him after the 26-year-old was been held off the scoresheet in his previous seven games. |

Ekblad (upper body) will play Thursday against Montreal. - Ekblad was injured Friday in the Panthers' last game before the holiday break, but he ended up being the beneficiary of the league's schedule as Florida has had the last five days off.

Ekblad (upper body) might be cleared for contact Wednesday, according to Katie Engleson of Bally Sports Florida. - Ekblad did wear a non-contact jersey during Tuesday's practice for precautionary reasons though.

He has two goals and four points in eight games in 2022-23.

Ekblad (lower body) was placed on long-term injured reserve Wednesday. - This is obviously a huge blow for the Panthers and fantasy managers alike, as Ekblad won't be eligible to rejoin the lineup until Nov. 12 against the Oilers, which means he'll miss Florida's next 11 games at a minimum. The 26-year-old defender's lower-body injury isn't expected to be season ending, but at this point there's no guarantee he'll be ready to return once eligible in mid-November. Marc Staal could be tasked with taking on a larger role during Ekblad's lengthy absence. |

Ekblad (lower body) will be further evaluated Tuesday after leaving Monday's game against Boston. - Ekblad registered a minus-1 rating and four PIM in 15:49 of ice time.

Ekblad (lower body) was on the ice for practice Tuesday, David Dwork of Local 10 Miami reports. - Head coach Andrew Brunette indicated that the Panthers are working on integrating Ekblad into practice sessions on a day-to-day basis.

That's Norris trophy Brent Burns scoring territory, but not good enough to lead scorers from the blue line. Ekblad is knotted with Cale Makar for fourth in the NHL, behind Victor Hedman, Roman Josi and Adam Fox. |

Ekblad, who was injured in Florida's 4-1 win over the Stars on Sunday, may have a slim chance of returning should the Panthers make a very deep playoff run, but owners shouldn't count on it.
