Victor Eklund | Fantasy Outlook
Eklund holds middle-six role as Islanders host Kings at UBS Arena
With no fresh news over the past week, 20-year-old Victor Eklund continues to benefit from extra opportunity following Mathew Barzal's injury. Eklund is currently slotted on the Islanders' second line alongside Brayden Schenn and Emil Heineman, while also seeing time on the second power-play unit. Over his last six games, the young winger has provided physical energy, recording one goal and 15 hits across 13:27 of average ice time. Tonight, New York (5–3–1) hosts a struggling Los Angeles team (1–4–2) at UBS Arena in an evenly matched, moderate-scoring environment, likely facing Darcy Kuemper (confirmed).
Our projection for tonight anticipates modest production for Eklund, slating him for roughly ~0.5–1.0 point, ~1–2 shots on goal, and over two hits, equating to approximately 1.8 fantasy points with a small goal chance. While his second-line assignment and physical edge offer a decent peripheral baseline, his lack of top-unit power-play time caps his overall ceiling. This matchup is the second of three scheduled games this week for New York, where our models forecast 4.6 weekly fantasy points. In standard 10-to-12 team leagues, he is best reserved for deeper formats. Today's action: Bench.
