"In a season where the Maple Leafs' offence has been up and down, the Leafs have gotten reliable scoring game in and game out from someone you may not expect. Oliver Ekman-Larsson has been a name that has stuck out to many. The Swedish defenceman sits fifth in Maple Leafs scoring this season with 28 points in 47 games. This finds Ekman-Larsson within the top 25 in the NHL."
"After being bought out by the Vancouver Canucks he signed a one-year risk-free deal with the Florida Panthers. During his one-year run with the Panthers, where they won the Stanley Cup, he quarterbacked the top power-play unit and was a massive player in their Stanley Cup run. The Panthers later did not have the money to bring back OEL, which led the Maple Leafs to sign him to a four-year deal, where we have seen him thrive."
Oliver Ekman-Larsson has provided consistent scoring for the Maple Leafs, totaling 28 points in 47 games and ranking inside the NHL's top 25 in scoring. He revived his career after a buyout by the Vancouver Canucks, signing a one-year risk-free deal with the Florida Panthers and playing a central role on their top power-play during a Stanley Cup run. The Panthers could not re-sign him, leading to a four-year contract with the Maple Leafs, where he continues to thrive. He offers serviceable defensive minutes and valuable two-way contributions and was named to Team Sweden for the 2026 Olympics.
