Eklund had a goal and an assist in a 6-2 victory over the Sabres on Tuesday night.
EDGE Analysis
Eklund's goal stood as the winner -- he somehow snuck a sharp-angle wrister from the goal line by Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen's left arm at 2:19 of the third period. Eklund is on a three-game, four-point streak (one goal, three assists), and he has put up at least a point in eight of his last nine games (three goals, six assists). Most impressively, his goal was point 46, which set a new career mark for the winger in just 58 games. And his minus-2 rating is a far cry from last season's minus-45. Eklund's game has truly grown, and he's on pace for a 60-plus point season.

Eklund scored a power-play goal on two shots in Monday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Eklund's goal was nearly enough for a massive upset, but Vitek Vanecek came up 26 seconds short of a shutout. The tally extended Eklund's point streak to five games (two goals, three assists), and he has a pair of power-play points in that span. The young winger is up to 12 goals, 30 helpers, 13 power-play points, 99 shots on net and a minus-4 rating across 54 appearances this season. He needs three points to match his 80-game total from 2023-24.

Eklund is up to 41 points, 97 shots on net, 22 PIM and a minus-4 rating through 53 appearances while seeing steady top-six usage this season.

Eklund recorded two assists, including one on the power play, in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Eklund snapped a three-game pointless drought by setting up two of the Sharks' five goals in this offensive barrage, though San Jose still lost the game after an epic meltdown in the final period. Eklund, who missed four games between Dec. 27 and Jan. 2 due to an upper-body injury, has notched nine points in nine games since his return, tallying three goals and six assists in that span.
