Nils Ekman Recovering From Stroke

Nils Ekman, just 34 years old, is in a Stockholm hospital recovering from a stroke.

On December 28th, 2010 Ekman, the former Pittsburgh, Tampa and San Jose forward who was playing with Djurgardens IF in the Swedish Elite League this season, was complaining of a migraine headache, poor balance and numbness on one side of his body after waking up one morning. Doctors quickly determined that he had suffered a stroke.
