Ekblad notched three assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's preseason win over the Kings.
Scouting Report
The top pick in the 2014 NHL Draft has recovered from a severe leg injury and continues to grow into one of the league's best defensemen as he reaches the prime of his career. Has all the tools: size (6’4”), strength, skating ability and hockey sense. Has a big point shot, moves the puck well and can quarterback a power play. Can play 25-plus minutes per game and be a difference maker.
Long Range Potential: Elite all-around defenseman.
