Ekblad netted his sixth goal of the season in Thursday's loss to the Avalanche. It was the first goal in more than a month for the Calder Trophy candidate, who had attempted a whopping 37 shots over the previous 15 games without finding net. A slump like that can certainly be forgiven, as the 18-year-old has been every bit as good as the Panthers could have hoped when they selected him No. 1 overall in this past June's draft. He's tied for 20th overall in the league in defenseman scoring with 25 points in 42 games.
