23 Oliver Ekman-Larsson D

Ekman-Larsson is considered week-to-week with a lower-body injury, Jon Lane of NHL.com reports.

Ekman-Larsson was placed on injured reserve Sunday. According to Jose M. Romero of AZ Central Sports, the 29-year-old defenseman could miss up to four weeks. It's tough to pin down an exact timeline, but the Coyotes are planning to play without him for at least a couple of weeks.

Ekman-Larsson (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Sunday, Arizona Coyotes Insider Craig Morgan reports.

Ekman-Larsson was already slated to miss at least two games but his placement on IR will hold him out for a minimum of three contests. The 29-year-old defenseman will first be available to return Jan. 24 against Vegas.

Ekman-Larsson will miss at least two games after suffering a lower-body injury in Saturday's win over the Sharks, Arizona Coyotes Insider Craig Morgan reports.

Ekman-Larsson took Evander Kane's stick to the back of his neck during Saturday's win, but it was his lower body that suffered the injury. Head coach Rick Tocchet declared Ekman-Larsson day-to-day, but the veteran blueliner won't be re-evaluated until the Coyotes return from their two-game road trip Thursday. In his place, Kyle Capobianco or Jordan Gross will enter the lineup.

Ekman-Larsson had to be helped off the ice after taking Evander Kane's stick to the back of his neck in the third period of Saturday's 5-3 win over the Sharks.

Per Arizona Coyotes Insider Craig Morgan, coach Rick Tocchet didn't have an update on Ekman-Larsson's status following the contest. OEL was having a big game prior to getting driven into the boards by Kane behind the Coyotes net, tying his career high with three assists, one of which came on the power play. Arizona's next game comes Monday in Vegas, and it wouldn't be a surprise if Ekman-Larsson isn't able to suit up.

Ekman-Larsson will remain with the Coyotes according to his agent, Arizona Coyotes Insider Craig Morgan reports.

In somewhat dramatic fashion, Ekman-Larsson set a Friday deadline after expressing his willingness to waive his trade protection and accept a move to either Boston or Vancouver. If no deal came to fruition, he said he'd stay with the Coyotes -- which was his desire -- and it appears he's remained true to his word. OEL will continue anchoring the Arizona blue line, but with only 30 points (nine goals) in 66 games last year, fantasy managers should probably be a little concerned with his output going forward.

Ekman-Larsson has set a Friday deadline for a trade, reports NHL.com.

OEL wants to stay in the desert, but says he'd waive his no-move for a deal with either the Bruins or Canucks. He has a full no-movement clause as part of an eight-year, $66 million contract ($8.25 million AAV) that he inked July 1, 2018. But a change in ownership and management in Arizona has clearly changed the franchise's commitment to Ekman-Larsson.

Ekman-Larsson picked up two assists during Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Predators in Game 4 of their Stanley Cup Qualifier.

He got the primary helper on Arizona's first and last goals during regulation. Ekman-Larsson had a solid series overall, scoring a goal and four points in four games, and he'll need to keep producing if the Coyotes are going to pull off another upset in the next round.

Ekman-Larsson scored a goal on three shots and issued a pair of hits Sunday in a 4-3 win over Nashville in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Qualifiers.

Ekman-Larsson was the beneficiary of some puck luck when his point shot ricocheted off a pair of Nashville players and past goaltender Jusse Saros, giving the Coyotes a 1-0 lead eight minutes into the game. The stalwart defenseman logged a team-leading 24:21 of ice time, including more than seven minutes of power-play work.

Ekman-Larsson (undisclosed) is on the ice for Saturday's practice, Arizona Coyotes Insider Craig Morgan reports.

Ekman-Larsson exited Friday's practice early after getting tangled up with a teammate, but it appears as though his departure was likely just a precautionary measure. The 29-year-old Swede is expected to skate on the Coyotes' top pairing and first power-play unit during the playoffs.

On a zoom call held following Friday's practice, coach Rich Tocchet said he doesn't think Ekman-Larsson (undisclosed) is dealing with anything overly serious, Arizona Coyotes Insider Craig Morgan reports.

Ekman-Larsson exited Friday's practice early after getting tangled up with a teammate and tumbling to the ice awkwardly, but it appears as though his departure was likely more of a precautionary measure than a necessity. Another update on his status likely won't be released until the Coyotes get on the ice for practice in Edmonton next week, so we won't truly know how severe Ekman-Larsson's injury is for at least a few more days.

At this point it isn't clear if Ekman-Larsson was injured on the play or if he simply exited practice as a precaution, but losing him for any stretch of time would obviously represent a huge blow to the Coyotes' playoff chances. With Arizona scheduled to travel to Edmonton on Sunday, we may not get another update on Ekman-Larsson's status until next week.

Ekman-Larsson picked up an assist in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Flames.

In his last three games, Ekman-Larsson has two goals and thee helpers. The Swedish blueliner is up to 30 points in 65 games this year. He's added 133 shots, 127 hits and 64 blocked shots.

Ekman-Larsson scored an empty-net goal and dished an assist in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Canucks.

The Swede added five hits, three shots on net and a plus-3 rating in an all-around strong performance. Ekman-Larsson has picked up five points in his last four outings and now has 29 points, 133 shots and 126 hits through 64 contests this year. He'll have a hard time getting back to the 40-point mark in 2019-20.

Ekman-Larsson collected an assist and also scored an empty-net goal during Saturday's 5-2 win over Buffalo.

This was the first time since Jan. 7 that Ekman-Larsson produced a multi-point outing. He now has 27 points in 63 games this season, well below the production we've come to expect from the 28-year-old.

Ekman-Larsson scored a power-play goal in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Senators.

The goal was only Ekman-Larsson's second with the man advantage this season. Finishing this loss with a minus-1 rating, Ekman-Larsson now has failed to produce a plus rating in seven straight games, Thursday's contest being just his third game back since missing four games due to injury. Even in a down year, the Coyotes' defenseman carries undeniable fantasy value in all formats.

Contrary to a previous report, Ekman-Larsson (lower body) will suit up in Monday's game against Montreal.

The team had previously reported that their star defenseman was expected to miss the contest, but he'll draw into the lineup in place of Aaron Ness. It will be the first game back for Ekman-Larsson, as he's missed the past four contests with the lower-body issue.

Ekman-Larsson (lower body) is considered a game-time decision for Monday's road game versus Montreal, Craig Morgan of The Athletic reports.

Head coach Rick Tocchet relayed that Ekman-Larsson had a "good morning skate" Saturday, so he's certainly headed in the right direction. If he's deemed good to go, he'll immediately return to the top pairing as well as the first power play. The veteran defenseman has accrued 22 points, 111 shots and 104 hits over 53 games this year.

Ekman-Larsson (lower body) won't play in Saturday's matchup versus the Bruins, Craig Morgan of The Athletic reports.

Although coach Rick Tocchet said Ekman-Larsson had a "good morning skate," the 28-year-old blueliner will miss his fourth straight outing. Jakob Chychrun is expected to work on the top pairing in his place. Considering Ekman-Larsson has made good progress in recovery, he'll have a solid chance at suiting up Monday versus Montreal.

Ekman-Larsson (lower body) is set to join the club for its upcoming four-game road trip, Craig Morgan of The Athletic reports.

Whether Ekman-Larsson gets into Saturday's clash with Boston remains to be seen, but the fact that he will make the trip is a step in the right direction. Prior to getting hurt, the Swede had notched five points in his previous nine contests, including three with the man advantage.
