Player Discussion Mattias Ekholm

Having a good playoffs?

Yes, I think he's currently hurt though.

Yeah, those 2 heavy hits he took on the first shift of game 3 seem to have had an affect. He's still been good but, like you said, I think he might be hiding a nagging injury.

Sounds like it has been more illness related. Guess there was a flu going through their team and Ekholm was really sick. He was a game time decision a couple games back with Broberg on standby if not well enough. Course he could also be a bit banged up. But he hasn't shown any gaps in his physical game or compromised skating.

He got burned last night but it wouldn't be surprising to lose a step if you have the flu.
