EDGE Analysis

Ekblad helped out on Anthony Duclair's tally in the second period, and the winger returned the favor on Ekblad's tally in the third. The 26-year-old defenseman is on a four-game point streak with two goals and four assists. He's racked up 12 goals, 45 points, 145 shots on net, a plus-35 rating and 52 blocked shots in 48 outings overall. He's already enjoyed career-best production on offense and still has plenty of time to push for the 70-point mark.
