Ekman-Larsson has missed the last six games with an upper-body injury, but will return tonight vs. the Oilers. Ekman-Larsson has 19 goals and 30 assists (49 points) in 66 games this season and should immediately be activated on all fantasy formats. His two goals and three assists in three games vs. Edmonton this season also suggest that he is worth the price in daily leagues as well.
Ekman-Larsson will miss his second straight game with a lower-body injury and is still “a few days away from playing” according to head coach Dave Tippet. This is a huge blow to the Coyotes blueline and a team that will look to snap a 10-game road losing streak.
Ekman-Larsson left Monday’s game with an upper-body injury and is listed as day-to-day. O.E.L is the backbone of the Coyotes’ lineup and it would be crippling if he can’t play on Wednesday. Monitor Ekman-Larsson’s status during the Coyotes’ morning skate.
Domi will sit out on Saturday, but is eligible to return to the Coyotes lineup on Monday in Colorado. With Domi out, Alex Tanguay is expected to make his Coyotes debut.
Nylander, 19, has skated in 37 regular season games with the Marlies this season and ranks tied for ninth in league scoring with 45 points (18G / 27A). The 19-year-old was one of three Marlies players selected to skate in the 2016 AHL All-Star Game. Nylander was drafted by Toronto in the 1st round (8th overall) during the 2014 NHL Entry Draft.
Ekman-Larsson took part in the Coyotes’ morning skate and is listed as a game-time decision for tonight’s game. Monitor OEL’s status during pregame warmups, which get underway at 6:30 p.m EST.
Ekman-Larsson suffered a lower-body injury in his first shift on Saturday, but could be in the lineup tonight in Washington. Ekman-Larsson has been excellent since the All-Star break, scoring three goals with eight assists (11 points) in nine games. Monitor OEL’s status during the Coyotes morning skate.
Ekman-Larsson left after getting tangled up with Vladimir Tarasenko and never returned. The Coyotes did not provide an update on OEL’s status, but if the Coyotes have a shot at making the playoffs, they need Ekman-Larsson in the lineup.
Stolarz, 22, has gone 15-10-3 with a 2.45 GAA and .915 SV% in 29 games with Lehigh Valley this season. With Michal Neuvirth our for at least one week, Stolarz has been recalled to backup Steve Mason. The Flyers have a back-to-back on the weekend, so Stolarz could make his NHL debut.
McCabe was a healthy scratch on Wednesday, but with Josh Gorges back out, McCabe will re-enter the lineup on Friday. McCabe has three goals and five assists in 43 games this season.
McCabe will serve as a healthy scratch tonight in Colorado with Josh Gorges set to return to the lineup. McCabe has eight points (3G / 5A) in 43 games this season.
Tanev has missed the last two games with an undisclosed injury, but will be back in the lineup tonight vs. the Ducks. Tanner has just five points (1G / 4A) in 34 games this season.
Stolarz served as Steve Mason’s backup on Wednesday because Michal Neuvirth was dealing with an upper-body injury. With Neuvirth back at practice this morning, Stolarz has been sent back to Lehigh Valley.
