Aaron Ekblad Set To Miss The Rest Of The Regular Season
3 years agoFlorida Panthers defenseman Aaron Ekblad (lower body) is likely done for the regular season. He hurt his right leg early in Friday's 3-0 win over Anaheim, and while the team hasn't been too worried about the injury, they are set to give Ekblad all the time he needs to get back healthy again. He'll head to Long-Term Injured Reserve and the Panthers hope to get him back for the first round of the playoffs. The club moved quickly to bolster its backline on Sunday, snapping up Robert Hagg from Philadelphia for a sixth-round draft pick. Florida also added Ben Chiarot to the team this week and Ekblad's injury shouldn't affect the team much.
