"Good news. We weren't sure yesterday, but he feels ready and he's good to go,"
"It was kind of a freak thing out there. I got lucky. A guy fell on my left leg,"
"It happened so quick, the guy fell, he didn't mean to do that. I was lucky to get out of it pretty quickly. It's crazy how much can change in a day, or a day and a half."
"Great teammate. That's the biggest thing. An unbelievable teammate. Great defenceman, and I'm happy to see him in such a big role. He's playing good,"
Oliver Ekman-Larsson will play Saturday against the Edmonton Oilers after suffering a lower-body injury Thursday against the San Jose Sharks. Head coach Craig Berube said Ekman-Larsson had to skate before being cleared and confirmed he felt ready. Ekman-Larsson described the injury as a freak incident when a player fell on his left leg and said he recovered quickly. William Nylander and Dakota Joshua missed the morning skate with illness and are game-time decisions. Matias Maccelli filled in on the third line while Nick Robertson skated with Easton Cowan and John Tavares. Projected lineup lists Dennis Hildeby as the starter.
