Jarnkrok, 24, appeared in 74 games with the Predators in 2015-16, scoring 16 goals with 14 assists (30 points). The young Swede has 57 points (25G / 32A) in 167 career NHL games and will likely start the 2016-17 season on the third line, but could work his way into the Predators’ top-6 as the season progresses.
Rielly appeared in all 82 games this season, picking up nine goals and 27 assists (36 points). In his first three NHL seasons, Rielly has collected 19 goals and 73 assists (92 points) and a minus-46 rating in 236 career games. Rielly will be the backbone of the Maple Leafs' blueline for years to come.
Tanev has missed the last six games with a back injury, but will return tonight in San Jose. Tanev has collected 17 points (4G / 13A) with a minus-5 rating in 63 games this season.
Ekman-Larsson has missed the last six games with an upper-body injury, but will return tonight vs. the Oilers. Ekman-Larsson has 19 goals and 30 assists (49 points) in 66 games this season and should immediately be activated on all fantasy formats. His two goals and three assists in three games vs. Edmonton this season also suggest that he is worth the price in daily leagues as well.
Ekman-Larsson will miss his second straight game with a lower-body injury and is still “a few days away from playing” according to head coach Dave Tippet. This is a huge blow to the Coyotes blueline and a team that will look to snap a 10-game road losing streak.
Ekman-Larsson left Monday’s game with an upper-body injury and is listed as day-to-day. O.E.L is the backbone of the Coyotes’ lineup and it would be crippling if he can’t play on Wednesday. Monitor Ekman-Larsson’s status during the Coyotes’ morning skate.
Domi will sit out on Saturday, but is eligible to return to the Coyotes lineup on Monday in Colorado. With Domi out, Alex Tanguay is expected to make his Coyotes debut.
Nylander, 19, has skated in 37 regular season games with the Marlies this season and ranks tied for ninth in league scoring with 45 points (18G / 27A). The 19-year-old was one of three Marlies players selected to skate in the 2016 AHL All-Star Game. Nylander was drafted by Toronto in the 1st round (8th overall) during the 2014 NHL Entry Draft.
Ekman-Larsson took part in the Coyotes’ morning skate and is listed as a game-time decision for tonight’s game. Monitor OEL’s status during pregame warmups, which get underway at 6:30 p.m EST.
Ekman-Larsson suffered a lower-body injury in his first shift on Saturday, but could be in the lineup tonight in Washington. Ekman-Larsson has been excellent since the All-Star break, scoring three goals with eight assists (11 points) in nine games. Monitor OEL’s status during the Coyotes morning skate.
