Eklund (upper body) will play against Colorado on Sunday, according to Max Miller of NHL.com.
Eklund will likely return to a top-six role and a spot on the first power-play combination following a one-game absence. He has three assists, 11 shots on net and four blocked shots through four appearances this season. With Eklund and Will Smith back in the lineup versus the Avalanche on Sunday, Klim Kostin and Givani Smith will be healthy scratches.
