Aaron Ekblad Stats

Florida Panthers defenseman Aaron Ekblad had one of his best offensive performances of the season in Tuesday's 7-6 overtime loss to Pittsburgh, posting three points with a goal and two assists. He became the first Panthers defenseman ever with multiple short-handed goals and set up Sam Reinhart and Carter Verhaeghe for a pair of first-period tallies. Ekblad was plus-two for the night and added five shots and two hits to his line in 24:04 of ice time. The two-time All-Star has been off his game since the start of last month, collecting only 13 points after opening the reason with a run of 10 points in 12 games. He has eight goals and 15 assists for the season through 39 appearances with 106 shots on goal, 37 hits and 49 blocks.

Florida Panthers defenseman Aaron Ekblad (upper body) will be in the lineup Monday versus the Rangers. He played less than two minutes against Minnesota on Saturday due to an upper-body injury, but head coach Paul Maurice was very optimistic about his chances to be back on Monday and he has now confirmed that Ekblad will play. Florida's No. 1 defenseman will be hoping that the team's improved form will also help to turn his season around. Ekblad is carrying a team-worst minus-14 rating and has posted only 20 points in 37 games.

Florida Panthers defenseman Aaron Ekblad logged just 1:50 of ice time in Saturday's meeting with Minnesota, leaving the game with an upper-body injury. It's another bad blow for the star defenseman during a difficult campaign, although there was also good news after Saturday's game, with head coach Paul Maurice suggesting that Ekblad might be ready to play again when the next game comes around on Monday. Ekblad has tallied 20 points through 37 games and sits on a minus-14 rating. He averaged nearly a point per game a season ago and was among the league leaders with a plus-38 rating, so Ekblad has definitely been one of the biggest fantasy disappointments in 2022-23.

Florida Panthers defenseman Aaron Ekblad netted two goals in Friday's 3-2 win over Detroit to put a stop to a seven-game scoring drought. Both of his goals came on the power play. Ekblad moved to six goals and 16 points for the whole campaign. Florida's No. 1 defenseman hasn't had a great time ever since December started, with him posting only six points in 17 outings. Ekblad has suffered a huge drop-off in form, considering he was close to getting a point per game a season ago. There's still half of the season to go, but he definitely won't be getting anywhere close to his 2021-22 numbers.
