Eklund notched a power-play assist and blocked two shots in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Kraken.
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.
