Joel Eriksson Ek Available Wednesday
4 mins agoMinnesota Wild center Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body) will suit up for Team Sweden for Wednesday's matchup against Canada at the 4 Nations Face-Off. There was initially uncertainty surrounding Eriksson Ek after he missed Minnesota's final game before the break due to a lower-body injury. Eriksson Ek, who has recorded nine goals and 23 points in 41 games this season, plays as a top-six forward for Minnesota but will assume more of a checking role with Sweden. He is expected to start on the third line alongside Jesper Bratt of the New Jersey Devils and Lucas Raymond of the Detroit Red Wings.
