William Eklund out for extended period with ankle injury, Senators expect return this season

According to NHL team coach Travis Green, it’s a “good move.”

“I don’t know exactly how long it will be,” Green told nhl.com.

However, I don’t think he needs surgery, and I expect him to be back sometime during the regular season.

The 23-year-old from Stockholm, who started the season with one goal and one assist in four games, had to leave early in Friday night’s victory over Philadelphia after being hit by the opposing team’s Simon Benoit.
