Bummer. I've really enjoyed watching Ekblad play. Fantastic player. Hopefully Trouba can step up and show what he's got.

Aaron Ekblad was hit high last night by Leo Komarov. That should explain why he's out tonight. #tvasports

Team North America has announced that Aaron Ekblad is out tonight because an upper body injury. Jacob Trouba is in.
Bummer. I've really enjoyed watching Ekblad play. Fantastic player. Hopefully Trouba can step up and show what he's got.
Damn. I missed hearing that, so thanks for the update.
Too bad because he's NA's best defenceman.

shame as the NA team lose a little something without him...
Experience is the teacher of all things.
Told Ekblad is feeling much better today. Sense is he will probably stay with Team NA, but will not play if there is any risk.

will be interesting to see the fall out from this if he did play...
Experience is the teacher of all things.
If Florida wants can they just call the Team North America GM and say "Send him home!" ? or how does that work
Watching Leafs Lunch on TSN and apparently according to George Richards (Miami Herald) said on twitter that the Florida Panthers have told Team North America that they dont want Aaron Ekblad playing in this tournament.
