EDGE Analysis

Eklund made an impact during both regulation and Wednesday's extra hockey, as he recorded an assist on Igor Chernyshev's goal in the second before later netting the game-winning tally in the shootout. With the assist, Eklund now has 16 assists, 26 points, 92 shots on goal, 26 hits and 25 blocks through 36 games this season.

The 23-year-old Eklund has scored in each of the Sharks' past six wins, proving his value in the team's top six shouldn't be overlooked among their plethora of young talent. He remains a solid fantasy file in nearly all league formats.

EDGE Analysis

Eklund put the Sharks ahead 4-1 in the second period. He's earned three points over two games since joining the top line with Macklin Celebrini and Igor Chernyshov. Eklund has the talent to play in that role, and he's a good enough two-way winger to bring balance to the line.

Eklund is at eight goals, 21 points, 66 shots on net, 22 hits, 22 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating over 29 appearances this season.
