NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Nashville Predators have signed defenseman Mattias Ekholm to a four-year, $25 million extension keeping him under contract through the 2025-26 season.

Ekholm's name, as is prone to happen around this time of year, has been linked to several trades. "I feel like it's every other year now," Ekholm said of hearing his name in trade rumors.

Mattias Ekholm scored at 1:04 of overtime as the Edmonton Oilers completed a two-goal comeback to defeat the visiting Boston Bruins 3-2 on Thursday night.

Imposing 6-foot-4, 215-pound defensemen with thick beards and hard stares aren’t supposed to do that. Mattias Ekholm reminded everyone that he can.

The Nashville Predators are 7-10-0 and could be pondering a rebuild. If they go that route, defenseman Mattias Ekholm ’s name will be at the top of the list of trade targets on their roster.
