Sharks' William Eklund: Not playing Friday

Eklund (upper body) will not play Friday in Winnipeg, according to Max Miller of NHL.com.

Eklund played hurt versus Chicago on Thursday after he was considered a game-time decision ahead of the contest. While he managed to set up both goals in a 4-2 loss, Eklund said after the game that he was not 100 percent. Klim Kostin could move up to the top line alongside Mikael Granlund and Tyler Toffoli in Eklund's absence.
