Ekblad (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision for Thursday night's matchup with LA, David Dwork of Local 10 Miami reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ekblad wasn't able to participate in Thursday's morning skate due to an undisclosed issue, leaving his status versus the Kings up in the air. The 25-year-old blueliner's availability against LA likely won't be confirmed until the Panthers take the ice for pregame warmups, so fantasy managers should plan accordingly.
