Wild's Joel Eriksson Ek: Puts away goal Thursday
Eriksson Ek scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Lightning.
Eriksson Ek has scored in back-to-back games, and he's up to three tallies and one assist over five appearances this season. The 27-year-old center has added 13 shots on net, 15 hits and a plus-4 rating. With the Wild off to a surprising 5-0-2 start, Eriksson Ek's steady top-six role carries a little more value that usual. He's a strong source of offense in all situations while adding strong volume in shots and hits, and he'll usually chip in some PIM as well, though he's yet to take a trip to the sin bin this season.

Wild's Joel Eriksson Ek: Will be ready to play Saturday
Eriksson Ek (nose) expects to be back in action versus the Blue Jackets on Saturday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Wild's Joel Eriksson Ek: Opens season with goal
Eriksson Ek scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Eriksson Ek started in the second line between Marcus Johansson and Matt Boldy, and at the end of the day, that line was the one that carried Minnesota to victory since all three got on the scoresheet one way or another. Eriksson Ek will probably compete with Marco Rossi for the center role in the first line, and while one game is not enough to draw conclusions, he certainly opened the season on a strong note.

Wild's Joel Eriksson Ek: Supplies two helpers
Eriksson Ek recorded two assists, three hits, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 6-1 preseason win over the Blackhawks.
Eriksson Ek was a force in the preseason with three goals and five assists over three games. The 27-year-old center's position in the lineup isn't certain yet -- he'll be an every-game player, but he could play anywhere from the first line to the third line. The Swede improved his point total for the fifth straight year in 2023-24, producing 30 goals, 64 points, 267 shots on net and 169 hits over 77 appearances. If he can fend off Marco Rossi for the top-line gig between Kirill Kaprizov and Mats Zuccarello, Eriksson Ek would be a strong and consistent fantasy center.

Wild's Joel Eriksson Ek: Sends assist in win
Eriksson Ek registered an assist, three shots on goal, two PIM and two blocked shots in Monday's 3-1 win over the Kings.
Eriksson Ek helped out on a Ryan Hartman tally late in the second period, which ended up being the game-winner. The helper was Eriksson Ek's second in as many contests, but he's been limited to three assists over eight games in April. The center has put together a career year with 64 points, 266 shots on net, 167 hits, 60 PIM and a plus-18 rating, all personal bests, in 76 outings, but he's faded late in the campaign.
