Oliver Ekman-Larsson Hurt On Monday
1 year agoFlorida Panthers defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson failed to complete Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to Boston, exiting in the third period with an undisclosed injury. The Swedish rearguard had no points on Monday, but he's been playing a major role for the Panthers due to the absences of Brandon Montour (shoulder) and Aaron Ekblad (shoulder). Both rejoined practice at the weekend, but they are still multiple weeks away from being ready to play, so the team will be desperate to get some good news regarding Ekman-Larsson's status ahead of Thursday's encounter with the Red Wings. Ekman-Larsson has averaged close to 24 minutes per game, logging three points (one goal, two assists) with 21 shots on net and 13 blocks.
