Mattias Ekholm Reveals That He Had to Have a 1 on 1 Convo With Fellow Defensemen: Proves He's a True leader

During the series against the Los Angeles Kings, the Edmonton Oilers had several games that went into overtime, requiring the team to push hard to secure a win.

Unfortunately, Desharnais struggled and his stat line remained consistently at zero throughout the game.

During the game, in between periods, Vincent Desharnais experienced some frustration after his poor performance in game 4.




The Oilers emerged victorious in the game after their player expressed frustration privately and then rejoined the fray. Even with the challenges, Desharnais received encouragement from Mattias Ekholm, who mentored him and boosted his confidence after a difficult game 4.

With the team consistently bringing in younger players to fill the ranks, experienced players like Ekholm play a crucial role in stabilizing players like Desharnais. The mentorship paid off in games 5 and 6, underscoring the importance of veteran presence in the team.
