What It Means:

Ekman-Larsson was on the ice with the Coyotes on Thursday, but he was serving as an extra skater. This will be the fourth straight game Arizona hasn't had his services.

Ekman-Larsson has 49 points (19 goals, 30 assists) in 66 games played this season and has been solid at driving possession. His Corsi For Percentage is 51.5 and his Relative Corsi For at Even Strength is 6.8. We project the talented defenseman to tally another eight points (three goals, five assists) over the remaining course of the season.
