Mattias Ekholm Set For Oilers Debut Wednesday
2 years agoEdmonton Oilers defenseman Mattias Ekholm will make his team debut Wednesday against Toronto after joining the club Tuesday from Nashville. Ekholm is projected to team up with Evan Bouchard on the second defensive pairing. The Swedish blue-liner should also see minutes on the second power-play unit. Ekholm plays a strong defensive game and has also notched 18 points in 57 games this season. His offensive numbers should get a boost on an Oilers team that leads the league with 3.80 goals per game and has elite scorers Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl within its ranks.
