Report: Ekblad receiving treatment for stiff neck, day to day

Whether Florida Panthers and North America defenseman Aaron Ekblad has a concussion depends on who you ask.

While a Monday report has the 20-year-old suffering from concussion-like symptoms, TSN's Bob McKenzie says not so fast:

Ekblad suffered the injury when he was rocked by Finland's Leo Komarov on Sunday.

The Panthers don't want Ekblad suiting up in the World Cup again, according to the Miami Herald's George Richards.

TSN's Darren Dreger chimes in as well, tweeting that Ekblad feels better Tuesday. The "sense is (Ekblad) will probably stay with Team North America, but will not play if there is any risk," Dreger writes.

North America's next game is Wednesday at 3 p.m. ET against Sweden.
