Ekblad had another great defensive game in his young career Saturday against the Capitals.

Analysis:

Ekblad played a whopping 25:25 minutes of the game and held superstar Alex Ovechkin off the scoresheet. Ekblad is being used in all situations early in the season which is great news for fantasy owners. He had two shots, one hit, two blocked shots, and one takeaway in the contest on Saturday. Ekblad also led his team in PP time with 4:27 minutes. If the power play can get things going in the right direction, he should be a major contributor.
