Aaron Ekblad Ready To Return Saturday
2 years agoFlorida Panthers defenseman Aaron Ekblad (lower body) has come off Injured Reserve and is expected to rejoin the lineup Saturday versus Edmonton. He has been out for nearly a month, last appearing on Oct. 17. Ekblad got hurt in only the third game of the season and has been on the shelf for 11 contests. Brandon Montour's fantasy value will take a hit with Ekblad returning, although he has been incredibly hot as of late with seven points in two games and should still play a very important part for the team. The two are set to skate together on the first power-play unit, while Ekblad will be paired with Marc Staal in even-strength situations on Saturday.
