Eklund tallied a goal, dished out an assist, put three shots on net and recorded three hits in Thursday's 5-3 loss to Carolina.
Eklund helped keep Thursday's contest competitive by tying the game at three goals apiece late in the second period. With his twine finder, the 20-year-old forward is up to four goals, seven points, 22 shots on net, a plus-4 rating and 42 hits across 15 outings this season. The young winger has displayed a lot of promise not only with the puck, but also without it, as he currently ranks just outside the league's top-25 skaters in hits. He also appears to be heating up offensively with five points over his last seven outings, which makes him a solid streaming option in banger leagues for the time being.

Eklund scored a power-play goal on three shots and added six hits in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Kings.
Eklund has scored in consecutive contests for the first time in his career. The six hits were also a career best for the 20-year-old winger, who has shown a bit of an edge to his game so far. He has three goals, one assist, 15 shots on net, 25 hits, eight PIM and a plus-2 rating through 10 outings this season.

Eklund scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Ducks.
Eklund ended a six-game point drought with his first-period goal Tuesday. The 20-year-old winger is still adjusting to the NHL, and while he remains on the second line on paper, his ice time has been under 15 minutes in all but one contest. He's at three points, 12 shots on net, 19 hits, eight PIM and a plus-1 rating over nine appearances.

Eklund scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Devils.
Eklund made his 20th birthday particularly memorable by recording his first NHL goal. He initially picked up an assist on Brayden Schenn's second-period tally before beating Nico Daws from the slot at 11:32 of the third frame to extend New York's lead to 4-0. Eklund was elevated to a top-six role alongside Schenn and Calum Ritchie and immediately rewarded the Islanders with his first NHL multi-point performance.

Eklund will be given every opportunity at securing an Opening Night roster spot, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports Tuesday.
Eklund saw action in just one NHL game last year in which he registered one assist, two shots and two hits while logging 15:30 of ice time. If the 19-year-old winger does make the NHL roster, he still could be sent back to juniors before reaching the nine-game threshold. While Eklund may be a riskier option in re-draft formats, he is a must-have piece in dynasty contests.

Eklund was reassigned to AHL Bridgeport on Wednesday.
Eklund made his NHL debut versus the Hurricanes on Tuesday, producing his first NHL point. Looking ahead to the 2026-27 campaign, Eklund should have the inside track to securing a spot on the Opening Night roster, though he could also be moved to the minors to ensure he gets minutes in a more prominent role.
