Jan. 4, 2023 Ekholm scored a goal and an assist on two shots, helping the Predators to a 6-3 win over Montreal on Tuesday. - Ekholm scored on a slap shot from the point to give the Predators a 3-0 lead in the first period. He would add an assist on the power play on Cody Glass' game-opening goal. This performance snaps a two-game pointless streak for Ekholm and gives him 11 points for the season. None
Dec. 19, 2022 Ekholm scored a first-period goal during a 4-3 overtime victory over the visiting Oilers on Monday. - Ekholm, who converted his first goal in 20 games, opened the scoring with a rebound tally. The 32-year-old defenseman registered his first point in seven appearances and generated a team-high five shots on goal. Ekholm added two hits and a block during 23:03 of ice time in the win. None
Dec. 2, 2022 Ekholm produced an assist in Friday's 4-1 win over the Islanders. - Ekholm set up an empty-net goal by Mikael Granlund in the final minute of the game. While this was his second assist in five games, Ekholm has been only an occasional contributor on offense lately.

He's still seeing top-four minutes with time on the second power-play unit. None
Nov. 5, 2022 Ekholm recorded two assists and three hits in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Canucks. - Ekholm helped out on Jordan Gross's first NHL goal as well as a Nino Niederreiter equalizer in this contest.

The goal was Ekholm's first of the campaign, and he's added two assists in 10 contests. He's notched 19 shots on net, 14 hits, 11 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in a top-four role. He ended a three-game point drought with his goal Tuesday. None
Oct. 7, 2022 Ekholm posted an assist and went plus-2 in Friday's 4-1 win over the Sharks. - It took Ekholm only 61 seconds to get on the scoresheet in 2022-23, as he set up Kiefer Sherwood for the opening tally in this contest. Over the last five years, Ekholm has reached the 30-point mark four times, with the shortened 2020-21 campaign the lone exception in that span. He was paired with newcomer Ryan McDonagh to begin the new season -- that could allow Ekholm to have a little more freedom to roam, so he could be a solid depth option in deeper fantasy formats. None

The 31-year-old defenseman added eight shots on net, 11 hits and eight blocked shots in a top-four role.

April 29, 2022 Ekholm (rest) will not play Friday against Arizona, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports. - Ekholm will sit for Nashville's final game of the 2021-22 campaign. The 31-year-old blueliner finishes the season with six goals and 31 points through 76 appearances. He should be back in the lineup to begin the postseason. None

He also helped out on a Ryan Johansen tally earlier in the contest. Ekholm has been steady in April with a goal and seven helpers through 14 contests in a second-pairing role. The Swede has 31 points, 145 shots, 96 blocked shots, 79 hits and a plus-14 rating through 76 appearances. None
April 5, 2022 Ekholm notched two assists, five hits and five blocked shots in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Wild. - Ekholm helped out on goals by Roman Josi (on the power play) and Philip Tomasino in the contest. With five assists in his last three games, Ekholm's finally showing some pop on offense. The 31-year-old blueliner has 25 points, 117 shots on net, 82 blocked shots, 59 hits and a plus-14 rating through 64 contests. He should continue to absorb big minutes in a top-four role. None
March 29, 2022 Ekholm dished out three assists -- one shorthanded -- in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Senators. - Fellow Predators defenseman Roman Josi saw his 13-game point streak come to an end in this one, but Ekholm put forth his best Josi impression as the offense kept pouring in from the Nashville blue line.

This was Ekholm's first multi-point game since Jan. 1 against Chicago, when he also posted three assists. None
March 22, 2022 Ekholm (illness) will suit up Tuesday versus the Kings, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports. - Ekholm will return to the lineup after just one missed game with this illness.

March 21, 2022 Ekholm (illness) won't play Monday in Anaheim, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports. - Ekholm will sit out for the fifth time this season. He was hot over the past three games, with two goals and 11 shots, so the Predators will miss his all-situations presence in a top-four role on defense. Nashville will be right back in action Tuesday in Los Angeles, so Ekholm will need to feel better quickly to avoid missing additional game action. None
March 12, 2022 Ekholm collected a primary assist and wound up with a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Blues. - Ekholm helped his own cause with the apple, but he also had six giveaways in the contest, making it a small miracle that the Preds bailed him out and kept him on the better side of the plus-minus category. The Swede has three goals and 15 assists through 54 games, and fantasy managers may still find him useful as a depth option in his 11th season with Nashville. None

March 5, 2022 Ekholm logged an assist, went plus-3, blocked two shots and fired two shots on goal in Saturday's 8-0 win over the Sharks. - Ekholm's contribution came on the latter of Matt Duchene's two goals in the contest. The assist ended Ekholm's seven-game point drought -- he hadn't gotten on the scoresheet since the first game out of the All-Star break. The 31-year-old blueliner is up to 16 points, 80 shots on net, 61 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating through 51 outings overall. His offense has slipped over the last couple of years, and he's on pace to miss the 30-point mark for the second season in a row. None
Jan. 25, 2022 Ekholm scored a goal and added two PIM in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Kraken. - Ekholm was able to bank a wraparound attempt off a Kraken blueliner to give the Predators their first lead of the game at 16:31 of the second period. It was the defenseman's first goal and second point in three games since returning from the COVID-19 protocols. The 31-year-old is up to three tallies, 13 points, 63 shots on net, 20 PIM, 46 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating in a top-four role this season. None

Jan. 15, 2022 Ekholm has entered the NHL's COVID-19 protocols and won't be available Saturday versus Boston, Matt Porter of The Boston Globe reports. - Ekholm will need to submit two negative COVID-19 tests before rejoining his teammates. Alexandre Carrier will likely have an expanded role until Ekholm is cleared to return to the lineup. None
Jan. 1, 2022 Ekholm had three assists in a 6-1 win over Chicago on Saturday. - All three helpers came in the first period. Ekholm's offense has been quiet this season -- the three points were a 50 percent increase on his season total and he now has just nine points (32 games). Four of his nine points have come in his last five games, so perhaps Ekholm will turn this spark into an offensive flame. Until then, use caution if you need to activate him. None
Dec. 16, 2021 Ekholm scored an empty-net goal on four shots and went plus-3 in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche. - The tally was Ekholm's first of the season. The Swede hasn't been as involved as usual on offense this year, logging only six points in 28 contests. He's added 47 shots on net, 29 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in a top-four role, but without an uptick in scoring, he's not doing much to help fantasy managers. None
Dec. 9, 2021 Ekholm (illness) will return to the lineup Thursday versus the Islanders, Adam Vingan of The Athletic reports. - Ekholm missed Tuesday's game versus the Red Wings, but his absence won't stretch beyond that. The Swede should return to a top-four role with some power-play time. None
Dec. 7, 2021 Ekholm (illness) won't play Tuesday versus the Red Wings. - Ekholm is not dealing with a COVID-19-related illness, so he shouldn't be sidelined for very long. Ben Harpur and Philippe Myers are expected to enter the lineup Tuesday, with Matt Benning (upper body) also out. None
Dec. 5, 2021 Ekholm snapped a 10-game pointless drought with two assists in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canadiens. - Ekholm has certainly been scuffling this year after posting 23 points in 48 games last season along with a plus-19 rating. While Saturday's two-point effort is a step in the right direction, Ekholm is notoriously streaky so don't expect a huge offensive outburst. Bottom line, manage your fantasy expectations accordingly. None
Nov. 14, 2021 Ekholm failed to register a point in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Coyotes, giving him just three points in 15 games this season. - After notching 23 points in 48 games last season, Ekholm was projected to be a lock for a 30-plus point campaign this year, but so far that is not materializing. He continues to see a decent amount of ice time (23:36 TOI) and fires a ton of shots (22, tied for fifth on the team), but he just can't seem to capitalize on his scoring chances so far. We think it's just a matter of time before things start going his way -- don't give up on him just yet. None
