INJURIES

Doubtful in round two Ekholm (undisclosed) is reportedly making progress but is unlikely to be available until after the second round, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports Monday.
Impact Ekholm will not only need the Oilers to get past the Kings in the first round -- the series is currently tied 2-2 -- but probably make it to the Western Conference Finals. Getting the veteran back would certainly bolster the Oilers' blue line, considering he put up a solid 33 points in 65 games when healthy this year.

Oilers rule out defenseman Mattias Ekholm for 1st-round series against the Kings

Mattias Ekholm will not be available for the Edmonton Oilers’ first-round playoff series against the Los Angeles Kings
APRIL 14 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Oilers Dealt Worrying Injury Blow for Opening Round of Playoffs Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch provided an update on the injury status of Mattias Ekholm ahead of the playoffs.
APRIL 14 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM
Will miss opening round Ekholm (undisclosed) is not expected back until after the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports Monday.
Impact Ekholm was already considered out indefinitely, so this latest update is far from a surprise given his status. With Troy Stecher (undisclosed) and Jake Walman (undisclosed) also banged up, the Oilers find themselves very thin on the blue line and will need to get some healthy players back sooner rather than later.
APRIL 14 • ROTOWIRE
Likely out indefinitely Ekholm (undisclosed) is still undergoing testing, but even in a best-case scenario, he's expected to miss a fair amount of time, Ryan Rishaug of TSN reports Saturday.
Impact Ekholm has nine goals, 33 points, 42 hits and 95 blocks in 65 appearances in 2024-25. It sounds like he probably won't play in Edmonton's final three regular-season games, and the larger question now is what his availability will be like for the playoffs. Cam Dineen, who was summoned from AHL Bakersfield on Saturday as an emergency recall, will likely draw into the Oilers' lineup for Sunday's game against Winnipeg.

Hurt again Friday Ekholm (undisclosed) won't finish Friday's game versus the Sharks, Mark Spector of Sportsnet reports.
Impact It's unclear how much of this is caution and how much is a true injury concern. Ekholm lasted just two shifts in his return from a seven-game absence, and he was seen falling down on the ice prior to his exit, per Spector. At this point, the Oilers may just shut Ekholm down prior to the postseason, assuming the injury isn't bad enough to endanger his chances of being available for Game 1.

APRIL 11 • NHL.COM
Ready to rock Ekholm (undisclosed) will return to the lineup versus San Jose on Friday, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.
Impact Ekholm has missed the last seven games and 13 of the Oilers' last 17 contests. He had one goal and five assists in the four games he managed to play between injuries, giving the 34-year-old defenseman nine goals, 24 assists, 42 hits and 95 blocked shots across 64 appearances this season.

Still sidelined Wednesday Ekholm (undisclosed) will remain on the shelf ahead of Wednesday's clash with the Blues, Tom Gazzola of Edmonton Sports Talk reports.
Impact While Ekholm won't be ready for Wednesday's matchup, head coach Kris Knoblauch told reporters he expects all of the Oilers' injured players back before the postseason starts. It's been a tough end of the season for Ekholm, who has missed 12 of the team's last 16 outings -- though he was rolling offensively in limited action with six points in those four appearances. Ty Emberson figures to see an increased role while Ekholm remains out of action.
APRIL 9 • ROTOWIRE
Unlikely to play during road trip Ekholm (undisclosed) is doubtful to return during the Oilers' upcoming three-game road trip, Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports.
Impact Ekholm has already been shelved for Edmonton's previous three contests due to his undisclosed injury and now will be unavailable for another trio of tilts. During his brief four-game return from prior injury, the 34-year-old defender was offering decent offensive upside with six points in his last four contests.

Won't play Tuesday Ekholm (undisclosed) won't travel with the Oilers for the start of their road trip that begins Tuesday against the Golden Knights, Derek Van Diest of NHL.com reports.
Impact Ekholm has missed the last two games due to an undisclosed injury, and his absence will extend to three games Tuesday. The Oilers will play four games on their road trip, culminating with a matchup against the Ducks on April 7. However, it's not yet clear whether Ekholm will rejoin the team during that time. Ty Emberson should continue to see playing time for the Oilers while Ekholm is sidelined.
