Edmonton Oilers' Mattias Ekholm was injured and could not play when the team advanced to the quarterfinals. Now it is clear that he will also miss the first quarterfinal against Vegas.
Oilers won against LA Kings with 4–2 in matches, but after tonight's match, coach Kris Knoblauch announced that defenseman Mattias Ekholm will not be able to play in the next round due to injury. What type of injury it is about is unclear.
Ekholm has made nine goals and 24 goal-scoring passes in the 65 matches he has played this season. Last time Ekholm was on the ice for his team was on the 11th of April.
