Coyotes defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson named to 2nd All-Star Game

Defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson will be the Coyotes’ lone representative at the 2018 NHL All-Star Game in Tampa later this month.

Ekman-Larsson, who is fourth among Coyotes skaters in scoring with six goals and 13 assists in 43 games, will take part in his second career All-Star Game at Amalie Arena on Jan. 28.

“I’m super excited and it’s a little bit different than it was (finding out) the first time,” Ekman-Larsson said via conference call on Wednesday. “I’m a couple years older than before and I was super nervous being around all the superstars. This time I’m probably not going to be that nervous.
