William Eklund - NHL News & Rumors

Sets up game-winner Eklund logged an assist in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Oilers.

Records assist, winning tally in SO Eklund registered an assist and recorded the shootout-winning tally in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Wild.

Impact Eklund made an impact during both regulation and Wednesday's extra hockey, as he recorded an assist on Igor Chernyshev's goal in the second before later netting the game-winning tally in the shootout. With the assist, Eklund now has 16 assists, 26 points, 92 shots on goal, 26 hits and 25 blocks through 36 games this season. In December alone, he has two separate instances of holding a three-game point streak. His recent move to the top line to play alongside Macklin Celebrini in the absence of Will Smith (upper body) has helped bring back the offensive flair he's had in his first two full NHL seasons. The 23-year-old Eklund has scored in each of the Sharks' past six wins, proving his value in the team's top six shouldn't be overlooked among their plethora of young talent. He remains a solid fantasy file in nearly all league formats.

Plays role early in comeback Eklund scored a goal on three shots, added a power-play assist and went plus-3 in Saturday's 6-5 overtime win over the Penguins.

Impact The Sharks were down four early in the third period, but Eklund helped spark their improbable comeback. He assisted on John Klingberg's power-play tally to start the rally, then scored a goal of his own to get the Sharks within two. This ended a six-game goal drought for the 23-year-old. Eklund is at eight goals, 21 points, 66 shots on net, 22 hits, 22 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating over 29 appearances this season. He could be in line for a promotion in the lineup if Philipp Kurashev (upper body) and Will Smith (undisclosed) are out for Tuesday's game versus the Flames.

Primary helper on power play Eklund distributed a power-play assist, put three shots on goal and blocked three shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Hurricanes.

Impact Eklund picked up the main helper on Alexander Wennberg's power-play goal near the end of the second period. With the apple, Eklund is up to 11 assists, 18 points, 59 shots on goal and 21 blocks through 26 games this season. The 23-year-old winger has been a stable source of offense on the Sharks' second line this season. He also provides sneakily good category coverage stats for fantasy purposes, proving that he continues to grow in his third full season at the NHL level. Eklund is a solid addition to fantasy lineups regardless of the league format and has a high point floor while serving as one of the key players in San Jose's run-and-gun style.

Goals in back-to-back games Eklund scored a goal in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact After going nine games without a goal to start November, Eklund finished the month by scoring in consecutive contests. The 23-year-old winger has five points over his last eight outings and looks to be shaking off the rust from a lower-body injury that cost him four games. For the season, Eklund's at seven goals, nine helpers, 47 shots on net, 17 hits, 17 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating through 22 appearances.

Scores in power play Eklund scored a power-play goal in Friday's 3-2 win over the Canucks.

Impact Eklund scored his first November goal at a time when the Sharks needed him the most. His slap shot at the 14:03 mark of the second frame tied the game 2-2, and it set up the stage and momentum for Adam Gaudette's game-winner 74 seconds later. Eklund has endured a rough stretch of late, and even though he has 15 points (six goals, nine assists) in 21 games, it's worth noting that he has only four points in 10 games this month.
