  • Oilers' Mattias Ekholm: Records helper Tuesday

    Ekholm notched an assist, two shots on goal, two blocked shots and two PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Blues.

    Ekholm battled an illness last week and over the weekend, but he was able to log his usual workload with 23:38 of ice time Tuesday. The 34-year-old defenseman has five points and 15 shots on net over his last five outings. For the season, he's been steady in a top-four role with 23 points, 119 shots on net, 74 blocked shots and a plus-19 rating over 52 appearances.

  • Oilers' Mattias Ekholm: Back at practice

    Ekholm (illness) participated in Monday's practice, per Tony Brar of Oilers TV.

    After missing Saturday's 4-3 loss to Toronto, Ekholm was back on the top pairing during Monday's session. He should return to the lineup versus St. Louis on Tuesday. Ekholm has accounted for seven goals, 22 points, 117 shots on net, 72 blocked shots and 34 hits in 51 appearances this season. Based on Monday's combinations, John Klingberg could be a healthy scratch to make room for Ekholm's return.

  • Oilers' Mattias Ekholm: Set to sit out

    Ekholm (illness) won't play Saturday versus the Maple Leafs, Bob Stauffer of the Oilers Radio Network reports.

    Ekholm missed Friday's practice after playing through the illness Thursday. However, he will miss at least one game. Troy Stecher is set to return to the Oilers' lineup in a bottom-four role.

  • Oilers' Mattias Ekholm: Absent from practice

    Ekholm was not on the ice for Friday's practice due to illness, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.

    Ekholm was questionable to face the Red Wings on Thursday due to his illness but managed to suit up in that contest, so fantasy players can probably expect the blueliner to be in action against the Leafs on Saturday as well. Still, if Ekholm does miss any time, Troy Stecher figures to jump back into the lineup.

  • Oilers' Mattias Ekholm: Good to play Thursday

    Ekholm (illness) is set to play Thursday versus Detroit.

  • Oilers' Mattias Ekholm: Misses Wednesday's practice

    Ekholm didn't participate in Wednesday's practice session due to an illness, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.

    Ekholm has been hot recently, as he's in the midst of a three-game point streak in which he's racked up a goal and three assists. He hasn't yet missed a game this season, but it's unclear whether he'll be able to suit up Thursday against the Red Wings due to his illness.

  • Oilers' Mattias Ekholm: Pair of points in win

    Ekholm scored an empty-net goal on six shots, added an assist and blocked two shots in Monday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.

    This was Ekholm's first multi-point effort since Dec. 31. The defenseman has four points over his last three games, a much better pace than his start to January (one assist over 10 contests). For the season, he's at seven goals, 22 points, 117 shots on net, 71 blocked shots and a plus-20 rating over 50 appearances while filling a top-four role.

  • Oilers' Mattias Ekholm: Provides helper in win

    Ekholm notched an assist, four shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Canucks.

    Ekholm set up an Adam Henrique tally in the first period, which ended up being the game-winner. This was Ekholm's second helper over 11 contests in January, which has been a fairly quiet month for the defenseman, though not as bad as his November (one assist in 13 games). Overall, Ekholm's at 19 points, 108 shots on net, 67 blocked shots, 32 hits and a plus-17 rating through 48 appearances.

  • Oilers' Mattias Ekholm: Expected to play

    Ekholm (undisclosed) is on the ice for warmups and expected to play Wednesday versus the Wild, Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports.

    Ekholm was considered a game-time decision after missing Wednesday's morning skate. His heavy defensive usage leads to some wear and tear throughout the season, and that appears to be the case in this situation. He's projected to play in his usual spot on the top pairing.

  • Oilers' Mattias Ekholm: Game-time decision

    Ekholm (undisclosed) missed the morning skate and will be a game-time decision Wednesday versus Minnesota, according to Tony Brar of Oilers TV.

    Ekholm has six goals and 18 points in 43 appearances in 2024-25. Josh Brown is likely to draw into the lineup against the Wild if Ekholm is unavailable.

  • Oilers' Mattias Ekholm: Adds helper Thursday

    Ekholm logged an assist and two hits in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Penguins.

    Ekholm ended a three-game slump with the helper. The 34-year-old defenseman had a great October on offense, but his scoring contributions since have been less consistent. He's at six goals, 12 helpers, 95 shots on net, 60 blocked shots, 30 hits and a plus-15 rating through 41 appearances in a top-four role. Ekholm is likely to fall short of his 45-point regular season from 2023-24.

  • Oilers' Mattias Ekholm: One of each in win

    Ekholm scored a goal on two shots, dished an assist, blocked three shots and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 4-1 win over Utah.

    Ekholm ended a three-game dry spell with this performance. He opened the scoring 4:26 into the game and then helped out on Leon Draisaitl's empty-netter in the third period. Ekholm is up to six goals -- four of which he scored over 13 contests in December. He's generated 17 points, 90 shots on net, 53 blocked shots, 24 hits and a plus-15 rating over 37 appearances this season in a top-pairing role.

  • Oilers' Mattias Ekholm: Nets late equalizer

    Ekholm scored a goal on seven shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Sharks.

    The Sharks nearly pulled off a massive upset in Edmonton, but Ekholm saved the day for the Oilers, tying the game with 18 seconds left in the third period. He's scored clutch goals in back-to-back contests, and he's on a four-game point streak after having a helper in each of the two games before that. The 34-year-old is out of his slump and is back to being a reliable depth option in fantasy. He's at five goals, 15 points, 82 shots on net, 47 blocked shots, 24 hits and a plus-12 rating through 33 appearances.

  • Oilers' Mattias Ekholm: Pots game-winner Thursday

    Ekholm deposited the game-winning goal in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Bruins.

    Ekholm ripped one past Jeremy Swayman's blocker after being set up by Ryan Nugent-Hopkins in the extra frame. Ekholm extended his point streak (one goal, two assists) to three games in the victory. The left-shot blueliner has registered four points through eight games in December, which is encouraging considering he was held off the scoresheet in 12 of 13 games in November. The 34-year-old has contributed four goals, 14 points, 12 PIM, 75 shots on goal and a plus-10 rating while averaging 22:48 of ice time through 32 appearances. Ekholm's efforts are mostly concentrated on being reliable in the defensive zone, but he can go on a run at any time when taking into account his top-pair role and the talent that surrounds him.

  • Oilers' Mattias Ekholm: Chips in with helper

    Ekholm notched an assist, three shots on goal and two blocked shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Golden Knights.

    Ekholm has been a little quiet on offense with three points over his last 15 contests. He set up Jeff Skinner's tally just after a power play expired in the third period of Saturday's win. Ekholm is up to 12 points, 68 shots on net, 43 blocked shots, 23 hits and a plus-8 rating through 30 appearances while playing on the first pairing and second power-play unit.

  • Oilers' Mattias Ekholm: Tallies on power play

    Ekholm scored a power-play goal on two shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Blue Jackets.

    Ekholm snapped a nine-game point drought with his second-period goal. The 34-year-old defenseman is at little risk of ever seeing a drop in ice time thanks to his steady defense, but he's rarely had a slump that deep in his time with the Oilers. Overall, Ekholm is at three goals, 11 points, 63 shots on net, 32 blocked shots, 22 hits and a plus-6 rating through 26 appearances. All three of his goals this season have come on the power play.

  • Oilers' Mattias Ekholm: Snags helper

    Ekholm provided an assist and six shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Islanders.

    Ekholm ended a season-worst four-game dry spell when he helped out on an Evan Bouchard tally in the third period. Prior to that slump, Ekholm had been pretty good on offense, enough to work himself into a spot on the second power-play unit. He's now at two goals, eight assists, 44 shots on net, 13 hits, 19 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 16 contests this season while seeing steady time on the first pairing at even strength.
