Eklund has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Red Wings due to a lower-body injury, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.

Eklund had two goals, including one on the power play, and a power-play assist in Sunday's 6-5 overtime win over the Wild.
Scouting Report
The smallish Swedish forward has big-time skills and hockey smarts. He is not supremely fast in terms of straightaway speed, but his edge work and elusiveness help him evade pressure and make plays. His compete level belies his size; he can win puck battles in tight places and execute tough plays at high speed.
Long Range Potential: Undersized, dynamic scoring forward.
