Wild's Joel Eriksson Ek: Leaves Saturday's game early

Head coach John Hynes did not have an update on Eriksson Ek's status after the forward departed Saturday's contest versus Seattle with an upper-body injury, according to Sarah McLellan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

Eriksson Ek fired one shot on goal in 11:44 of ice time before exiting Saturday's game. The 27-year-old was shaken up after taking an elbow to the face from Seattle's Adam Larsson, according to Michael Russo of The Athletic. Expect an update on Eriksson Ek's status ahead of Sunday's contest against Winnipeg.
