No he still plays on the top pairing with Forsling and now he's back on the top PP unit too since the A. Boquist experiment has pretty much failed.
Ekblad's injuries have indeed caught up to him. Poor foot speed to begin with added with multiple knee injuries and the result is pretty obvious. He thinks the game at a high level but physically struggles to keep up.
