The Aporia · Senators forward Eklund out for 'extended' period with ankle injury

Ottawa Senators forward William Eklund will be out for an extended period due to an ankle injury sustained during a game against Philadelphia on Thursday. With just four games played this season and one goal and assist to his name, the absence of the top-six player is significant for the team's early 3-1-0 start in the Atlantic Division. Head coach Travis Green did not provide a specific timeline for Eklund’s return, though the injury occurred after a hit from Philadelphia defenceman Simon Benoit.

Story summary

William Eklund, a 23-year-old Swede and top-six forward for the Ottawa Senators, will be out for an "extended" period due to an ankle injury sustained during Thursday's game against Philadelphia. The injury occurred after he took a hit from defenceman Simon Benoit. With only four games played this season, Eklund has already contributed one goal and one assist. His absence is particularly significant as the Senators have started strong with a 3-1-0 record in the competitive Atlantic Division. Head coach Travis Green did not provide an exact timeline for Eklund's return. The team acquired him in June from San Jose as part of a deal involving the ninth pick in the 2026 NHL draft. Ottawa faces Nashville on Saturday night, marking their return to action without Eklund.
