Mattias Ekholm will be sidelined against the Toronto Maple Leafs (7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT on Sportsnet and Sportsnet+) with a concussion, head coach Mike Babcock told reporters on Friday.

Ekholm suffered the concussion in a collision with Carolina's William Carrier in the third period of the Oilers' win over the Hurricanes on Thursday. He appeared to hit his head on the ice as he attempted to play the puck in his own zone before the hit from Carrier.
