Sharks' William Eklund: Assist in return from injury
Eklund picked up an assist in Saturday's 3-2 win over New Jersey.
Eklund missed four games due to an upper-body injury before logging 18:08 of playing time in his return. He has taken the next step forward this season and remains on target for a potential 60-point season. Even more remarkably, the highly skilled and hard-working Eklund has gone from minus-45 last year to plus-1 in 37 games this season.
