Defenseman Mattias Ekholm of the Edmonton Oilers has been recovering from an undisclosed injury and is now day-to-day after missing several playoff games. Recently, he participated in a full skate, leading to optimism about his potential return in the series against the Dallas Stars. Coach Kris Knoblauch noted Ekholm's improvement in mobility despite the time off. Initially fearing a longer absence, Ekholm expressed satisfaction with his progress, praising the trainers and indicating he is taking a cautious day-by-day approach towards his return.
I feel good; I didn't think I would be in this position this quickly, so I'm really happy about that. Our trainers have done a tremendous job with me.
I watched him yesterday and I watched him today, I think it's going well. His mobility is pretty good considering how much time he's had off.
