Florida Panthers defenseman Aaron Ekblad (undisclosed) will be available for Tuesday's season opener against the Chicago Blackhawks, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports. Panthers head coach Paul Maurice has confirmed that Ekblad will be available against the Blackhawks after he sustained an undisclosed injury during Saturday's preseason contest against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Ekblad has battled health issues for several years and has been limited to 107 regular-season contests over the past two campaigns. This makes him a risky fantasy option, but Ekblad produces solid numbers when he's in the lineup. He registered 33 points (three goals, 30 assists), 106 shots, 64 blocks, and 90 hits with a plus-11 rating in 56 appearances last season.--Taavi Pailk
