Florida Panthers defenseman Aaron Ekblad participated in an optional practice session on Sunday morning, one day ahead of Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final in Sunrise, Fla.
Ekblad sustained an injured left hand after he was hit by a shot from Edmonton Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse during the second overtime of Florida’s 5-4 victory in Game 2 of the finals. Brad Marchand scored later in the session for the Panthers, who tied the best-of-seven series at one win apiece.
Ekblad, 29, has recorded 11 points (three goals, eight assists) and averaged 23:58 of ice time in 15 playoff games.
He totaled 33 points (three goals, 30 assists) in 56 games during the regular season.
Florida made Ekblad the No. 1 overall pick in the 2014 NHL Draft, and he has spent his entire 11-year career with the franchise. He has 380 points (118 goals, 262 assists) in 732 career games.
