3 years agoFlorida Panthers defenseman Aaron Ekblad (lower body) was a full participant at Sunday's practice and could be back in the lineup in Tuesday's Game 1 against the Capitals. The talented rearguard has been on the shelf since Mar. 18 when he appeared to have injured his right leg. The team ended up winning 16 of 20 games without him, so it's safe to say that Ekblad wasn't missed much, but he will still be a big addition to the squad. The 26-year-old had a very productive year before getting hurt, notching a career-high 57 points in 61 games. Ekblad was paired with MacKenzie Weegar at practice and also worked with the first power-play unit.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
