Maple Leafs' Oliver Ekman-Larsson: Produces assist in loss
Ekman-Larsson notched an assist and two hits in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Penguins.
Ekman-Larsson has earned two helpers, six PIM, five shots on net and six hits over four games in December. That matches his point production from all of November. Ekman-Larsson will continue to see top-four minutes throughout 2024-25, but his hot start was likely a bit of a flash in the pan. He's collected 10 points, 47 shots on net, 41 hits, 27 blocked shots, 28 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 27 contests.

Maple Leafs' Oliver Ekman-Larsson: Misses practice Friday
Ekman-Larsson missed practice Friday with an illness.
The Maple Leafs get a rare Saturday off as they do not play again until Sunday versus Utah. That will give Ekman-Larsson an extra day to get healthy. Ekman-Larsson has been a rock on the Toronto blue line and has chipped in with a goal and seven assists in 20 games. He is on a two-game point streak heading into action Sunday. Consider him day-to-day at this point. If he is unable to go, look for Jani Hakanpaa to enter the lineup.

Maple Leafs' Oliver Ekman-Larsson: Bags apple Wednesday

Ekman-Larsson has a helper in back-to-back contests following an eight-game slump. He was moved back to the first pairing alongside Morgan Rielly for Wednesday's game after spending some time lower in the lineup. Ekman-Larsson has eight points, 38 shots on net, 31 hits, 23 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 20 appearances. Fantasy managers may be willing to ride through streaky offense since he plays on a strong team and offers category coverage.

Maple Leafs' Oliver Ekman-Larsson: Offers assist to end slump
Ekman-Larsson posted an assist, two hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Oilers.
Ekman-Larsson's hot October is a distant memory -- his helper Saturday ended an eight-game point drought. While he's no longer on the top pairing at even strength, he's still seeing significant usage and power-play time. The veteran defenseman is up to seven points, 38 shots on net, 31 hits, 20 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 19 appearances. Ekman-Larsson's talent as an offensive blueliner and a strong supporting cast should keep him in the mix for fantasy consideration.

Maple Leafs' Oliver Ekman-Larsson: Nets first goal with Toronto
Ekman-Larsson scored a goal in a 5-1 loss to the Blues on Thursday.
It was Ekman-Larsson's first goal of the season. He crushed the puck from the top of the circle, and it hit a Blues player and deflected past Jordan Binnington. Ekman-Larsson is off to a strong start in Toronto with one goal and four assists, 22 shots, 15 hits and seven blocks. He has even seen some time on the first power-play unit as the Leafs try to figure out how to inject some life in that struggling group. Ekman-Larsson is a solid depth defender in shallow leagues.

Maple Leafs' Oliver Ekman-Larsson: Strong start to season
Ekman-Larsson picked up an assist in a 4-1 loss to the Rangers on Saturday.
OEL already has four assists and 17 shots in five outings in blue and white. He won't continue this pace, but given the firepower around him, Ekman-Larsson could deliver his first 40-plus point season since 2018-19 with Arizona.

Maple Leafs' Oliver Ekman-Larsson: Contributes two helpers
Ekman-Larsson posted two assists, four shots on goal, two blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Kings.
Ekman-Larsson helped out on the Maple Leafs' second and third goals in the first period. While both of those helpers were at even strength, Ekman-Larsson's fantasy value has received a boost with him playing on the top power-play unit. He's at three helpers, 15 shots on net, five hits, five blocked shots, four PIM and a plus-3 rating over four contests this season, but he could be in line for a big year if he continues to get significant minutes with the man advantage.

Maple Leafs' Oliver Ekman-Larsson: Showing chemistry with new partner
Ekman-Larsson has been paired with Jake McCabe this preseason.
The duo appear to have early chemistry. Ekman-Larsson, who became the eighth defender in NHL history to win his first Stanley Cup title after playing at least 980 games, brings impressive hockey sense, skating and skill to the Leafs' blue line. Last year, he performed on the Panthers' second power-play unit, putting up 11 of his 32 points on the man advantage. He might be deployed in that role in Toronto, which could make reaching the 40-point plateau a real possibility.

Maple Leafs' Oliver Ekman-Larsson: Makes four-year commitment
Ekman-Larsson signed a four-year, $14 million contract with the Maple Leafs on Monday, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Ekman-Larsson had nine goals, 32 points, 76 PIM, 105 hits and 70 blocked shots in 80 regular-season contests with the Panthers in 2023-24. He also recorded two goals, six points, 24 PIM, 65 hits and 18 blocks across 24 playoff contests this year in Florida's successful pursuit of the Stanley Cup. The 32-year-old might serve primarily on the third pairing in Toronto with the possible top-four grouping being Morgan Rielly, Timothy Liljegren, Jake McCabe and Chris Tanev. However, even if that's the case, Ekman-Larsson is still likely to see time on the second power-play unit.

Panthers' Oliver Ekman-Larsson: Nabs helper in win
Ekman-Larsson garnered an assist in a 4-1 Game 2 victory over Edmonton on Monday.
