Ekman-Larsson has eight goals and 27 assists in 61 games this season.

Being held out Wednesday Ekman-Larsson will not be in the lineup versus New Jersey on Wednesday for roster management, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.

Impact With the trade deadline looming, it seems Ekman-Larsson may have played his last game in the Maple Leafs jersey. The blueliner has been struggling to produce in the offensive zone of late, going 13 games without recording a point while producing just four helpers.
