Joel Eriksson Ek Injured In Thursday's Win
1 month agoMinnesota Wild center Joel Eriksson Ek sustained a lower-body injury in Thursday's 3-0 win over Montreal. He was limited to 3:43 of ice time. Centering the second line, Eriksson Ek has contributed five goals and three assists in 14 appearances this season. He missed a pair of games early in the campaign due to a broken nose. Ryan Hartman skated as the second-line center during Eriksson Ek's absence. He might take over the position again if Eriksson Ek has to sit out additional time. The move to a scoring line would boost Hartman's fantasy value, but he's having a tough campaign. In 11 outings, Hartman has collected only four points (three goals, one assist).
