Ekblad delivered an assist in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Oilers in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
He also recorded two blocks in 21:37 of ice time as the Panthers' second-busiest defender. Ekblad had four goals, nine assists, 38 PIM, 36 shots and a plus-10 rating in 19 games this postseason. The oft-injured blueliner is an integral part of most fantasy teams, but he has struggled to stay on the ice over the last several seasons. Ekblad is a track-and-drop-down defender at drafts next fall. He delivers when he's on the ice, but there's no guarantee that he'll be out there helping you.

Panthers' Carter Verhaeghe: Elite club with third Cup win
Rotowire
Verhaeghe delivered three assists in a 5-1 win over the Oilers in Game 6 on Tuesday to help clinch the Stanley Cup.
Verhaeghe became a member of an exclusive group when he hoisted his third Stanley Cup. He is one of just six active NHLers to have claimed the Cup that many times. The others? Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Kris Letang, Patrick Kane and Jonathan Quick. That's heady territory for a guy the Maple Leafs traded away for Michael Grabner before his first full pro season with the team. Verhaeghe finished the postseason in a three-way tie for the team lead in scoring with 23 points in as many games.

Panthers' Matthew Tkachuk: Wins Cup, reveals serious injury
Rotowire
Tkachuk (groin) scored a goal in Tuesday's 5-1 Stanley Cup-clinching win over the Oilers.
Remarkably, after the game, Tkachuk revealed that he had been playing with a torn adductor muscle that is right off the bone. While he finished the playoffs with an incredible 23 points in as many games, Tkachuk will likely head under the knife quickly to repair this injury. He might not be ready to start next season.

Panthers' Sam Reinhart: Delivers Cup with four-goal game
Rotowire
Reinhart scored four goals Tuesday in a 5-1 win over the Oilers in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
Reinhart's four goals tied the record for most in a Stanley Cup Final game, and he became the second player in NHL history with four goals in a Cup-clinching win. It was also his first career playoff hat trick. Reinhart turned up the heat in the last four games, ripping off a four-game goal streak (seven) that included 10 points. The 29-year-old finished in a three-way tie for the team lead in points with 23. Reinhart also tied for second in postseason goals this year with 11. He finished behind Conn Smythe winner Sam Bennett, who recorded 15 playoff markers.
Panthers' Sam Bennett: Takes home Cup and Conn Smythe
Rotowire
Bennett was named the Conn Smythe trophy winner Tuesday after Florida clinched the Stanley Cup in a 5-1 win over Edmonton in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
Bennett put up 15 goals and 22 points in 22 games this postseason. Five of those snipes came in six games against Edmonton. Bennett is a prototypical playoff and big-game performer. That doesn't always translate into fantasy value in the regular season, though -- his best season came this year with 25 goals, 26 assists, 90 PIM and 241 shots. Still, it's a massive accomplishment for Bennett.
Panthers' Sergei Bobrovsky: Tending twine in Game 6
Rotowire
Bobrovsky will patrol the home crease against Edmonton on Tuesday in Game 6, according to Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.
Bobrovsky is coming off a 19-save performance in a 5-2 win over the Oilers in Game 5 on Saturday. He has posted a 15-7 record with three shutouts, a 2.26 GAA and a .912 save percentage through 22 appearances this postseason. If Bobrovsky backstops his team to a victory in Tuesday's matchup, the Panthers will be back-to-back Stanley Cup champions.
