Oliver Ekman-Larsson Exits Game with Lower-Body Injury, Awaiting Evaluation

Oliver Ekman-Larsson sustained a lower-body injury during Thursday's game against the Sharks, requiring assistance off the ice. The 34-year-old defenseman will undergo further evaluation to determine the severity and his potential return timeline. This injury casts doubt on his availability for Saturday's game against the Oilers. His status will remain uncertain until a full assessment is completed, with Philippe Myers expected to step into the lineup should Ekman-Larsson miss time.
