Filip Ekberg

Surveying the play, anticipating its flow, and timing himself with it, Ekberg always seems to find cross-ice passing lanes in the offensive zone. Always holding the puck in his hip pocket, in a position that enables him to hit multiple different plays instantly, Ekberg deceives defenders and sends passes through them. He knows his next play before the puck touches his stick, spots advanced manoeuvres, and executes them instantly. Sturdy inside contact and never afraid to cut inside, he has puck protection skills, too. -EliteProspects 2025 NHL Draft Guide
