Panthers' Oliver Ekman-Larsson: Back in action

Ekman-Larsson (rest) will draw back into the lineup for Thursday's game versus Columbus.

Ekman-Larsson was given the night off to rest Tuesday against Ottawa, but he'll return to a prominent role against the Blue Jackets, skating on the top pairing and second power-play unit. He's collected 30 points, 11 of which have come on the power play, through 78 contests this season.
