Set to miss extended time Head coach Travis Green said Friday that Eklund will be out for an extended period due to an ankle injury, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.

Impact Eklund exited Thursday's game against the Flyers and was unable to put weight on his leg as he left the ice. A precise timetable for the 23-year-old's return hasn't yet been revealed, but he's considered out indefinitely and appears to at least be week-to-week at this point. Nick Cousins could see an increased role while Eklund is sidelined.

Leaves Thursday's game Eklund (lower body) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Flyers.

Impact Eklund was unable to put weight on his leg as he left the ice. The 23-year-old winger has collected two points over his first four games with the Senators, but an injury of this nature could end up being significant. The Senators should have an update on his status prior to Saturday's game versus the Predators.

Two-point night in Detroit Eklund scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Red Wings.

Impact After setting up Drake Batherson for a tally early in the second period, Eklund potted his first goal as a Senator midway through the third, jumping on a loose puck after Fabian Zetterlund's shot went wide and banking it home off John Gibson from a sharp angle. The points were the first of the season in three games for Eklund, who was acquired from the Sharks in the offseason. With a top-six role and a spot on the top power-play unit with the Senators, the 23-year-old Eklund is in prime position to take a step forward with his production and potentially reach the 20-goal and 60-point plateaus for the first time.
