  • 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.

    Eriksson Ek registered an assist, three shots on goal, two PIM and two blocked shots in Monday's 3-1 win over the Kings.

  • Wild's Joel Eriksson Ek: Busts goal drought

    Eriksson Ek scored the game-winner and added an assist in Thursday's 5-2 win over Arizona. That's Eriksson Ek's 29th tally of the season and snaps a seven-game skid. That seven-game goal drought came on the heels of a hat trick and a four-game stretch over which he scored seven times. While he has 57 points in 63 games, Eriksson Ek can run hot and cold in terms of offensive production. Though, in terms of his utility to the Wild, he's always logging big, important minutes.

If he continues to receive top-line minutes and maintain his current level of play, he could easily surpass his previous career high of 61 points.

  • Wild's Joel Eriksson Ek: Produces six points in win

  • Wild's Joel Eriksson Ek: Four-game, six-point streak

    Eriksson Ek scored a goal Saturday in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Sabres. He tied the game 1-1 early in the third frame with a wrist shot from the slot after a drop pass from Kirill Kaprizov. Eriksson Ek's 25th goal of the season extended his point streak to four games. He has four goals and two assists during that span and has lit the lamp in three straight outings. He's one goal from tying his career mark set in 2021-22. Eriksson Ek has upped his shot volume significantly this season, pacing toward a total that would flirt with the 300 mark for the first time in his career. He also sits eighth in the NHL in faceoff wins (541) but is still working on his technique, as he's the only guy in the top 19 in that category who wins less than 50 percent of the time (49.7). The growth in his game is obvious, and Eriksson Ek has quietly become one of the best two-way pivots in the NHL.
