Aaron Ekblad A Game-Time Decision Wednesday
1 day agoFlorida Panthers defenseman Aaron Ekblad (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for Wednesday's matchup against Utah. Ekblad was unavailable for Monday's game versus Colorado but participated in Wednesday's morning skate, suggesting he may be ready for action again. The former first-overall pick has bagged 20 points (two goals, 18 assists) in 40 outings this season. Niko Mikkola (upper body), who has amassed 14 points (four goals, 10 assists) across 36 appearances, might also return on Wednesday to bolster Florida's defense. Ekblad's return will bump Dmitry Kulikov down from the first defensive pairing.
