Mattias Ekholm Misses Start Of Training Camp With Hip Problem
1 year agoEdmonton Oilers defenseman Mattias Ekholm (hip) won't be available for the start of training camp due to a minor hip flexor injury. General manager Ken Holland has announced that Ekholm may need a few days before he "gets going". The Swedish veteran appears to be dealing with a very minor issue, so this should only be a small bump on the road for him. Ekholm left a great first impression with the Oilers last term following a midseason trade from Nashville, and he should be set for another good campaign as Evan Bouchard's partner on the second defensive pairing.
