3 years agoFlorida Panthers defenseman Aaron Ekblad came up with two big goals in Thursday's 5-4 overtime victory against the Penguins, taking the game into the extra frame with third-period markers. The Panthers blew a 2-0 lead and found themselves trailing 4-2 before their captain struck twice inside 1:38 in the latter half of the period. Ekblad, who suffered a nasty leg injury last season, led the team in ice time with 27:58 and also produced a team-high six shots with three blocks and three hits. Ekblad was among the league leaders in goals among defensemen last season despite missing a large chunk of the year and it looks like the injury hasn't affected his scoring touch. The 25-year-old is a great fantasy asset with his ability to contribute in every category.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
