Sharks' William Eklund: New career mark for points
Eklund had a goal and an assist in a 6-2 victory over the Sabres on Tuesday night.
Eklund's goal stood as the winner -- he somehow snuck a sharp-angle wrister from the goal line by Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen's left arm at 2:19 of the third period. Eklund is on a three-game, four-point streak (one goal, three assists), and he has put up at least a point in eight of his last nine games (three goals, six assists). Most impressively, his goal was point 46, which set a new career mark for the winger in just 58 games. His minus-2 rating is also a far cry from last season's minus-45. Eklund's game has truly grown, and he's on pace for a 60-plus point season.

The young winger is up to 12 goals, 30 helpers, 13 power-play points, 99 shots on net and a minus-4 rating across 54 appearances this season.

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.

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. Keeper and dynasty managers are well-acquainted with this smart Swede, and those in deep redraft formats could find use for a 60-point winger.
