Joel Eriksson Ek Remains Under Evaluation
2 years agoMinnesota Wild center Joel Eriksson Ek (undisclosed) is still under evaluation after exiting Friday's Game 3 against Dallas with an injury. The talented centerman made a surprise return from a leg injury but lasted for only 19 seconds in the game. Eriksson Ek had received the green light from the doctors to return, but it's possible that he re-aggravated the injury that kept him out for six games. Minnesota has done well in the series without Eriksson Ek, taking a 2-1 lead, but he has been a key cog in the top six and was fourth in scoring on the team during the regular season with 61 points in 78 games.
