Mattias Ekholm listed as game time decision against Minnesota Wild
The Edmonton Oilers are gearing up for a thrilling showdown against the Minnesota Wild tonight, but Mattias Ekholm did not participate in morning skate. According to Oilers insider Tony Brar, Mattias Ekholm will be a 50/50 game time decision.
After morning skate concluded, Edmonton Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch made himself available for his usual interviews, revealing that defenceman Mattias Ekholm is dealing with a minor injury.
While the nature of the injury is still unclear, the Swedish blue-liner is obviously dealing with something sustained during the Oilers playoff style game against the LA Kings.
Hopefully, his injury isn't too significant as the Edmonton Oilers will need his services against a formidable Minnesota Wild squad.
The last time these two teams met, the Edmonton Oilers ran the Wild right out the building, spanking them by a whopping score of 7-1.
With a win tonight, the Oilers could close the gap between the Pacific Division leading Las Vegas Golden Knights and solidify their rank in the league's top 5.
The Oilers will look to up their record to 28-13-3 -- puck drop is set for 6:30 MT.
