Ekholm logged an assist, three shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Flames.

Ekholm has an assist in each of the last two games. The defenseman has added nine shots on net, three blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through three contests this season. He's finding his looks on offense even with the Oilers scoring just three times while opening the year 0-3-0. Ekholm should be a steady defenseman in fantasy while playing in a top-pairing role.
