Aaron Ekblad Expected To Be Available Thursday
2 years agoFlorida Panthers defenseman Aaron Ekblad (upper body) is expected to be in the lineup Thursday versus Montreal. He's been nursing an upper-body problem after getting hurt in the team's final game before the holiday break, but it looks like Ekblad won't be forced to sit out any games because of the injury. This is great news for the star defenseman after he already spent some time on the sidelines earlier in the campaign. Ekblad has made 24 appearances this season, recording four goals and 10 assists with 72 shots, 24 hits and 33 blocks. Fellow blue-liner Radko Gudas (concussion) is also set to be available on Thursday after missing the past 10 games.
