Mattias Ekholm News: Assist in return from injury

Ekholm (undisclosed) played 15:52 in Thursday's 6-3 win in Game 5. He picked up an assist.

Ekholm was also active in the lanes during his playoff debut Thursday, blocking two shots. He acts as a ballast for the Edmonton defense corps and will be especially valuable against the heavy, aggressive Panthers as the two teams battle to lift Lord Stanley.
