Mattias Ekholm | Fantasy Outlook

Ekholm remains a high-floor defensive anchor with 40-point and elite plus-minus upside in Edmonton.

Mattias Ekholm enters his age-36 season as a cornerstone of Edmonton's blueline after posting 43 points, a plus-32 rating, and 137 blocked shots last season. The veteran logs heavy top-four minutes at even strength, regularly exceeding 20 minutes of ice time while benefiting from the Oilers' high-powered offense.

Our models project a remarkably similar 82-game campaign for Ekholm, forecasting 6 goals, 35 assists (41 points), a plus-32 rating, and 125 blocked shots alongside 131 shots on goal. While his power-play time is minimal (3 projected power-play points), his consistent 5-on-5 production and defensive peripherals ensure a reliable floor.

With an ADP near 197, Ekholm represents tremendous late-round value for fantasy managers seeking a steady D3 or D4. While his age poses standard durability questions, his proven track record of playing full seasons and delivering top-tier plus-minus metrics makes him a dependable draft-day target.
