Ekman-Larsson added an assist in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Wild on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Ekman-Larsson had not contributed a point across his previous eight games, so his first period assist on Bo Horvat's goal was a welcome sight. The veteran blue liner has just two assists in 11 March contests.

Ekman-Larsson notched a power-play assist in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Ekman-Larsson (lower body) is set to be in action versus Seattle on Monday, per NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Ekman-Larsson has eight points in his last nine contests, including a pair of power-play helpers. With the 30-year-old blueliner back in the lineup, he should continue to log big minutes for the club, including with the man advantage, and figures to be a solid top-half fantasy target.

Ekman-Larsson appeared to suffer a lower-body injury in the third period of Saturday's game versus the Ducks, Iain MacIntyre of Sportsnet.ca reports. Head coach Bruce Boudreau didn't have an update on his status after the game.

More information on his status should surface before Monday's game against the Kraken.

Ekman-Larsson notched an assist, three shots on goal and two PIM in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

With the secondary assist on Brock Boeser's opening tally, Ekman-Larsson extended his point streak to five games. The blueliner has two goals and five helpers in that span. The 30-year-old is up to 15 points, 115 shots on net, 65 hits and 36 PIM through 47 contests, but his recent hot streak could earn him more attention from fantasy managers in need of a boost from their defense corps.

Ekman-Larsson scored a goal on three shots, blocked three shots, doled out three hits and went minus-3 in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

February is off to a great start for Ekman-Larsson, who has two goals and three assists during a three-game point streak. The Swede's tally ultimately did little to help the Canucks after they gave up five goals in the first period, but it's encouraging to see him get involved on offense. For the season, the 30-year-old is up to 13 points, 109 shots on net, 62 hits, 45 blocks and a minus-3 rating in 45 appearances.

Ekman-Larsson registered three assists and two shots on net in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

Ekman-Larsson spent his first 11 seasons in the NHL with the Coyotes before he was traded to the Canucks in the offseason. It's been a rough go for the Swede with his new team, but his first multi-point effort in blue and green came against his old mates. The 30-year-old is up to 12 points (four on the power play), 106 shots on net, 59 hits, 42 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 44 contests this season. Until he shows more consistency on offense, his fantasy value will remain limited to formats that reward his toughness.

EDGE Analysis

Ekman-Larsson produced an assist and fired three shots on goal in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

The assist Thursday was just his third in 10 games this month. Ekman-Larsson has not experienced a revitalization in his career after an offseason trade sent him from the Coyotes to the Canucks. The Swede has a meager eight points with 96 shots on net, 54 hits, 34 PIM and an even plus-minus rating in 40 appearances.

Ekman-Larsson registered an assist in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Ekman-Larsson has struggled in his first year with the Canucks -- he's chipped in two goals and five assists in 35 games -- but his complete hockey resume makes it tough for fantasy managers to dismiss him entirely. OEL is a two-time Olympic gold medal winner and twice an NHL All-Star, plus he's averaging 0.49 points per game over the course of an illustrious 12-year career between stops in Arizona and Vancouver.
