Ekblad picked up an assist in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Ducks. It took a little while for him to get going, but Ekblad has given the Panthers little reason to regret taking him No. 1 overall in this past June's draft. The blueliner is currently riding a four-game point streak, producing a goal, five assists and a plus-2 rating during that time. He's tied for fourth on the season in rookie scoring with 10 points, and leads first-year defensemen in that category.
