Mattias Ekholm injury update: Edmonton Oilers eye Western Conference Final berth as their key defenseman nears potential return
Mattias Ekholm injury update (Getty Images) The Edmonton Oilers are just one win away from punching their ticket to the Western Conference Final, and there's even more reason for fans to be optimistic. Head coach Kris Knoblauch revealed a significant injury update regarding key defenseman Mattias Ekholm , who has missed nearly the entire postseason. If Edmonton wraps up their series against the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 5, they could be welcoming Ekholm back into the lineup in the next round. Oilers look to capitalize on momentum with potential reinforcement ahead With a commanding 3-1 series lead over Vegas, the Oilers are poised to close things out on the road in Game 5. A win not only secures their spot in the next round but also provides the team with valuable rest days. This could be crucial in aiding Ekholm's recovery. 'Mattias has been on the ice for light skates,' Knoblauch said. 'He will not be joining us this series. We're hopeful that he can join us next series if we can get to that.' Ekholm has been sidelined with an undisclosed injury, having played only once since March 26. Despite his absence, the Oilers have managed to maintain strong defensive play, but the return of a veteran blueliner with postseason experience could provide a major lift. A rested roster and the return of Ekholm could be a game-changer Knoblauch emphasized the importance of closing out the series quickly—not just to stop Vegas from gaining momentum, but to allow the team to recover physically. 'Obviously there's a lot of benefits of winning that next game,' Knoblauch explained. 'You don't give that opportunity for Vegas to put together a string of wins, and then also the ability just to have some downtime, guys can rest and not add on.' He added, 'You know, the bumps and bruises through the playoff season as it goes, guys get banged up and it's a physical game, as we've talked about. But I think right now that's an extra benefit.'

His return could be the X-factor the Oilers need as they chase a return to the Stanley Cup Final.

IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect After making his NHL debut on Nov. 25, 2024, Berard finished the 2024-25 season with six goals and four assists in his first 35 career games. He missed three games in December for an undisclosed upper-body injury. 'I feel like it was just last month I was moving into my apartment there in Hartford,' Berard said during the Rangers' break-up day on April 21. 'If you told me at the beginning of the year that I would have played 35 games in the NHL, I'd take that as if it was a dream come true. It was special to be here. It was special to be around this group of guys. Came in, right away everyone made me feel right in place.' Berard said he plans to return to the area at the beginning of June to work out with his fellow teammates, Chris Kreider, Matt Rempe and Jonathan Quick, at Prentiss Hockey Performance in Stamford.

Piastri Makes It Three in a Row in Miami
TDT | Manama Oscar Piastri stormed to his third consecutive Formula One victory yesterday, clinching the Miami Grand Prix in a commanding McLaren one-two finish that further solidified his grip on the 2025 World Championship. Starting fourth on the grid, the 23-year-old Australian executed a flawless race strategy, overtaking early leaders with surgical precision and keeping teammate Lando Norris at bay to take his fourth win of the season. With the result, Piastri now leads the championship standings by 16 points over Norris after six rounds. McLaren's resurgence in 2025 continued to gain momentum as the British team has now won five of the season's six races — a stunning turnaround that has left rivals scrambling to keep pace. George Russell secured third place for Mercedes, while reigning champion Max Verstappen finished a frustrated fourth for Red Bull, struggling with grip issues throughout the race. Meanwhile, tensions flared in the Ferrari garage as Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz Jr. traded positions amid heated radio exchanges, adding pressure to a team already under scrutiny for internal friction. For Piastri, however, the message was clear: he's not just racing for wins — he's gunning for the title. 'This is what we've been working for. The car feels incredible, and I'm just enjoying every second of it,' he said post-race, beaming in the Florida sunshine. With Europe next on the calendar, McLaren's momentum shows no signs of slowing. The rest of the grid, it seems, is now firmly playing catch-up.
