Aaron Ekblad Expected to Miss Tuesday's Game Against Kings Due to Personal Matter

Florida Panthers defenseman Aaron Ekblad is not expected to play in Tuesday's matchup against the Kings as he tends to a personal matter. The 30-year-old blueliner has recorded one power-play assist and two hits across two appearances this season. Uvis Balinskis is expected to remain active in his absence, with Ekblad's next chance to return coming Saturday against the Wild.
