Oilers' Mattias Ekholm: Manages helper in win
Ekholm logged an assist, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Predators.
Ekholm has a helper in three of five games this season, providing both steady offense and defense from the top pairing. The 34-year-old blueliner has added 13 shots on net, nine blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating. Ekholm's offense isn't dependent on the power play, which has been a weak spot early in the year for the Oilers -- he's on the sparingly-used second unit, but the vast majority of his points will come at even strength.

Oilers' Mattias Ekholm: Puts up helper
Ekholm recorded an assist and four shots on goal in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Blackhawks.
Ekholm has a helper, six shots on net and two blocked shots over two appearances this season. The 34-year-old blueliner continues to play on the top pairing and second power-play unit. Ekholm's proximity to superstars makes him an interesting fantasy defenseman, especially when he can chip in 100-plus hits and blocked shots as well, but he'll likely top out around the 40-point mark.
