Scores in return from concussion Ekholm scored a goal on three shots in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Flames.

Impact Ekholm returned after missing two games with a concussion and immediately contributed, beating Dustin Wolf with a point shot early in the second period. The veteran defenseman has two goals this season, and his return strengthens Edmonton's blue line at both ends of the ice. His offensive involvement provides useful fantasy value, particularly in formats that reward shots and blocked shots.

Will miss at least one week Ekholm (undisclosed) will miss at least a week after getting injured versus the Hurricanes on Thursday, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.

Impact Ekholm was hurt on a hit by William Carrier in the third period of Thursday's game. For now, Shakir Mukhamadullin will fill in on the third pairing while Jake Walman will pick up some top-four usage. However, the Oilers' defense has been a little shaky to start the season, so a roster move could still be in order.

OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Opens scoring Saturday Ekholm scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Sharks.

Impact Ekholm tallied the opening goal at 12:37 of the first period. The 36-year-old defenseman is seeing heavy minutes in a top-four role since the Oilers have gotten poor results from all iterations of their third pairing so far. Ekholm has two points, five shots on net, four hits, two blocked shots, 10 PIM and a plus-11 rating over five contests. He's topped the 30-point mark in each of the last five campaigns and should also maintain a strong plus-minus rating while recording a decent total in blocks.
