News: 5 days agoEkholm (hip flexor) is expected to get into at least one preseason game, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.

Spin: Ekholm missed the start of training camp but is close to returning to the lineup. He should play at some point in the next 10 days and is expected to be ready for Opening Night in Vancouver on Oct. 11. Ekholm had nine goals and 32 points in 78 games split between Nashville and Edmonton last year.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Ekholm was a godsend for the Oilers in 2022-23 following a late February trade from Nashville, logging key minutes in all situations and providing Edmonton with a much-needed steadying presence on the blue line. Ekholm posted four goals and 14 points in 21 games with his new club after managing just five goals and 18 points in 57 games with the Predators. Ekholm was a big scorer as recently as a few years ago, having tallied 44 points in the 2018-19 campaign. He's not that type of player anymore, but he should once again be good for 30-plus points, 150-plus hits/blocks and a solid plus-minus rating in 2023-24, giving the Swede legitimate value in deeper fantasy formats.
