Gathers two helpers in win Ekholm notched two assists, three hits and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 9-4 win over the Kraken.
Impact Ekholm has been productive with a goal and five helpers over his last five games. That follows a stretch in which he had just one assist over 12 outings. The 35-year-old defenseman is vital to the Oilers' defensive efforts, so scoring will often take a backseat to protecting his own zone, though he can be a strong all-around contributor in the best of times. For the year, he has two goals, 11 helpers, 56 shots on net, 49 blocked shots, 22 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 28 appearances.

Three points in Florida Ekholm scored a goal on three shots on net and added two assists, two hits and a plus-5 rating in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Panthers.
Impact The Oilers' top pairing of Ekholm and Evan Bouchard combined for six points and a dominant plus-10 rating on the night. It was Ekholm's first multi-point performance since Oct. 28, and his first three-point effort since March 18 of last season. For the current campaign, the veteran blueliner has two goals, 10 points, 49 shots on net, 48 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 24 contests.

Earns pair of points Tuesday Ekholm scored a goal on two shots, added an assist, logged two hits and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Mammoth.
Impact Ekholm continued his recent run of strong offense with his first multi-point effort of the season. The 35-year-old blueliner got the Oilers on the board 22 seconds into the middle frame, then assisted on Ty Emberson's go-ahead goal later in the period. Ekholm has earned all six of his points this season over the lasty six contests. He's added 20 shots on net, 26 blocked shots, nine hits and a minus-4 rating across 11 appearances in a top-four role.

Gets first point of season Ekholm provided an assist, blocked four shots, added two shots on net and went minus-3 in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Red Wings.
Impact The helper was Ekholm's first point in six games this season. He's added 14 shots on net, 14 blocks and a minus-3 rating. The 35-year-old defenseman is seeing steady ice time in a top-four role, though it's unclear if he'll keep his spot on the second power-play unit one Jake Walman returns to the lineup Tuesday versus the Senators.
