Predators' Mattias Ekholm: Notches game-winner against Blue Jackets

Ekholm scored the game-winning goal against the Blue Jackets on Sunday.

Analysis:

The tally gives Ekholm 19 points in 58 games, which puts him on pace for something in the 25 to 30-point range when all is said and done. This would be a minor step back from the career-high 35 points he recorded last season, and somewhat of a disappointment considering he's seeing more than three minutes of additional ice time compared to last year. Ekholm's fantasy value remains confined to deeper formats only.
