His even-strength goal share has been consistent all through his AHL career, but he was playing more, against tougher competition, and for the first time the Condors had more success with him on the ice than off the ice. Phil Kemp took a step forward last season. So what about this for Edmonton’s 2023-24 depth chart: Without Lauzon, Ekholm posted a 55 percent shot share and a 57 percent goal share. Mattias Ekholm total: 408:34 minutes, 201-186 shots (51.9 pct), 14-18 goals (44 pct)Įkholm had success with other LH blue but the Jeremy Lauzon Experience (I never liked their albums) sewered the numbers.Mattias Ekholm-Philip Broberg: 13:34 minutes, 11-3 shots, 2-0 goals.
Mattias Ekholm-Darnell Nurse: 21:07 minutes, 14-6 shots, 1-0 goals. Mattias Ekholm-Ryan McDonagh: 102:34 minutes, 41-50 shots, 5-4 goals. Mattias Ekholm-Roman Josi: 116:33 minutes, 74-59 shots, 3-5 goals. Mattias Ekholm-Jeremy Lauzon: 137:10 minutes, 48-62 shots, 1-8 goals. That doesn’t mean Ekholm played on his off side but does indicate it was a lefty-lefty pairing. Here are the five-on-five numbers for Ekholm while playing with another LH blue during the 2022-23 season. The first thing we have to do is recognize that a veteran like Mattias Ekholm may be the best candidate to move over to his off side. There’s still time to sign another defenseman to a $775,000 per year contract, too. We don’t really know much about Dineen, Noel Hoefenmayer and Ben Gleason. Markus Niemelainen and Cam Dineen have the most experience, but Niemelainen and RH blue Phil Kemp had the best defensive seasons (Mike Kesselring is down the line) in the group.
