William Eklund is done for the next 10 to 12 weeks. The Senators forward had surgery this week to repair a torn tendon in his ankle. He picked up the injury last week against Philadelphia.
The timeline puts Eklund out through late January at the earliest. Ottawa loses a regular contributor during a stretch where depth matters. Eklund logged solid minutes for the Senators this season and figured into their forward rotation. Now the team absorbs that absence while waiting for him to return.
