Minnesota Wild center Joel Eriksson Ek (nose) is expected to be back in action on Saturday against Columbus. After breaking his nose last weekend, he has sat out a pair of contests. Working as the second-line center, Eriksson Ek has tallied one goal with four shots in two games. His return will push Ryan Hartman (upper body) back to the third line, although he could be entirely absent for Saturday's game after missing Friday's practice. Meanwhile, Marcus Johansson (lower body) will also make his return on Saturday following his absence from Tuesday's 4-1 victory over St. Louis. Eriksson Ek and Johansson will be reunited with Matt Boldy on the second line. It could be a productive return for the duo as Minnesota faces a team that has allowed the fourth-most goals per game this season (4.25).--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
