Eklund did not participate in Wednesday's team practice due to an illness but is still expected to play Thursday as San Jose takes on Vancouver. The 21-year-old prospect has struggled offensively as the Sharks continue to be historically bad at scoring (1.0 G/GP) and has a goal, two points, 12 SOG, and a -4 plus/minus to start his first full NHL campaign.

Eklund picked up two goals and one assist (three points) in eight games with the Sharks during his call-up. The 20-year-old winger returns to the AHL, where he is second on the team with 41 points (17G / 24A) in 52 games. Andrew Agozzino was recalled in a corresponding move to take Eklund's spot on the roster.

Eklund had 17 goals, 24 assists, 43 PIMs and a -9 plus/minus through 52 games with the San Jose Barracuda (AHL) and will be making his season debut with the Sharks on Saturday. Eklund was a 2021 1st round pick (7th overall) and has played in nine career NHL games previously, picking up four assists.

Eklund was a healthy scratch in Boston on Sunday but will be back in the lineup in Nashville. Eklund, who has three assists in his first four NHL games, will skate on a line with Tomas Hertl and Kevin Labanc.
