Ekblad left an exhibition game with a concussion and is expected to miss the remainder of Team Canada's Under-20 summer camp, Sportsnet reports.
Analysis:
The first overall pick in June's NHL Draft, Ekblad suffered the injury during Canada's 6-2 victory over the Czech Republic in an exhibition match. Team Canada officials said Ekblad is expected to make a full recovery in time for training camp next month, where he is expected to earn a roster spot with the Panthers. As with all concussions, however, the situation is worth monitoring.
