Mattias Hans Ekholm (born 24 May 1990) is a Swedish professional ice hockey defenceman for the Edmonton Oilers in the National Hockey League (NHL).
He was drafted in the fourth round, 102nd overall, of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft by the Nashville Predators.
Following the draft, he participated in Predators 2009 Development Camp.
While playing with Mora IK in Sweden, Ekholm was drafted in the fourth round, 102nd overall, by the Nashville Predators of the National Hockey League (NHL).
After recording a blazing start with 7 goals and 5 assists in his first 14 games with Brynäs, Ekholm was announced to be the first of four Elitserien Rookie of the Year candidates for the 2010–11 season.
He would go on to win the award.
Following the 2010–11 season, Ekholm signed a three-year entry-level contract to play with the Predators for the 2011–12 season.
After attending their training camp, Ekholm was named to the Predators opening night roster for his North America debut.
However, Ekholm was a healthy scratch for the first five games of the 2011–12 season before making his debut in their home opener against the Phoenix Coyotes.
He played two games with the Predators before returning to Brynäs for the remainder of the season.
This was due to a predetermined deal Ekholm made with the Predators during the summer.
Ekholm tallied one goal and one assists in his first six games back in Sweden.
He continued to produce and won the Borje Salming Award as the top defenseman in the Swedish Elite League after talling eight goals and 16 points in 40 regular-season games.

By December, Ekholm was leading all Milwaukee defensemen in scoring with
four goals and seven assists for 11 points.
Due to injuries, Ekholm earned an emergency recall to the NHL level on 15 April 2013.

In the second full year of his contract, Ekholm joined the Predators for the start of their 2013–14 season.

He finished the season with nine points through 62 games and was one of six NHL defensemen to play at least 50 games and be assessed 10 or fewer penalty minutes.
As such, Ekholm signed a two-year, $2.075 million contract with the Predators as a restricted free agent.
In the first year of his new contract, Ekholm changed his jersey number to 14 to match his World Championship number.
Ekholm set career-highs in goals, assists, and points during the season with seven goals and 11 assists for 18 points.
