Wild's Joel Eriksson Ek: Scores, assists in win
Eriksson Ek delivered a power-play goal and an even-strength assist in Friday's 5-0 win over the Penguins.
Eriksson Ek has cracked the scoresheet in four of the Wild's last six games, and this was the second time he recorded a multi-point performance in that span. The 28-year-old winger has 15 points (four goals, 11 assists) in 22 games this season, and he looks to be on pace to surpass the numbers he posted in 2024-25, when he had 29 points across 46 regular-season contests.

Wild's Joel Eriksson Ek: Finds twine Sunday
Eriksson Ek scored a goal on three shots, added two PIM and doled out two hits in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Golden Knights.
Eriksson Ek ended a nine-game goal drought with the tally. In that span, he managed five assists and took at least two shots on goal in each contest. The 28-year-old center has three goals, 10 helpers, 62 shots on net, 37 hits, 12 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 20 outings this season. He's shooting just 4.8 percent so far, which is too low for a player who has been at or above 10.0 percent in four of the last five seasons.

Wild's Joel Eriksson Ek: Contributes pair of assists
Eriksson Ek logged two assists, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Flames.
Eriksson Ek's goal drought reached seven games, but he was able to help out on tallies by Matt Boldy and Kirill Kaprizov. Consistency hasn't been a big part of Eriksson Ek's production this season, as he has created just one point streak that has reached three games. The veteran center is up to two goals, nine helpers, 51 shots on net, 32 hits, 12 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 17 appearances in a top-six role.

Wild's Joel Eriksson Ek: Dishes two helpers
Eriksson Ek logged two assists, including one on the power play, and added two shots on net and two hits in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.
This was Eriksson Ek's second multi-point effort of the season. He has yet to really get into a groove on offense -- his season-opening three-game point streak is his longest of the year so far. The 28-year-old center is at two goals, seven helpers, 39 shots on net, 27 hits, eight PIM and a minus-7 rating through 13 outings as a regular in the Wild's top six.

Wild's Joel Eriksson Ek: Finds twine Sunday
Eriksson Ek scored a goal on five shots, added four hits and blocked two shots in Sunday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Sharks.
Eriksson Ek hadn't scored since Opening Night. The 28-year-old has two goals and five assists over 10 appearances this season while filling a top-six role and a spot on the first power-play unit. He plays close to the net a lot of the time, so his goal-scoring luck should turn around. The center has added 31 shots on net, 17 hits, nine blocked shots, eight PIM and a minus-4 rating, making him a strong option for category coverage.

Wild's Joel Eriksson Ek: Registers two assists in loss
Eriksson Ek posted two power-play assists, two shots on goal and two PIM in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Eriksson Ek has started the year strong with three points (all on the power play), five shots on net and three hits over two games. The 28-year-old is on the second line, but he could move up to the first line whenever head coach John Hynes needs to shuffle the forward trios. Eriksson Ek was limited to 29 points in 46 regular-season outings last season, but he was able to top 60 points in the previous two campaigns, so he should be a major part of the Wild's offense throughout 2025-26.

Wild's Joel Eriksson Ek: Pots PP goal Thursday
Eriksson Ek scored a power-play goal in Thursday's 5-0 win over the Blues.
Eriksson Ek had a down season in 2024-25, scoring 14 goals, his lowest total since the 2019-20 campaign, though it's worth noting he played in only 46 regular-season games last year. His status as a top-six forward should continue to give him plenty of opportunities to produce, however, and he could top last season's scoring numbers if he stays healthy in 2025-26.

Wild's Joel Eriksson Ek: Looks healthy to begin camp
Eriksson Ek (abdomen) participated in Thursday's scrimmage to begin training camp, signaling that he should be healthy ahead of the 2025-26 campaign, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Eriksson Ek underwent core muscle surgery during the offseason but appeared to be healthy, as expected, as the Wild opened camp Thursday. Over 46 regular-season appearances in 2024-25, Eriksson Ek accrued 14 goals, 15 assists, 82 hits, 36 blocked shots and 22 PIM while averaging 19:46 of ice time.

Wild's Joel Eriksson Ek: Undergoing surgery
Eriksson Ek (abdomen) will have core muscle surgery this offseason but expects to be ready for the beginning of the 2025-26 campaign, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports Sunday.
Eriksson Ek had been playing through the injury during the first round of the postseason, and he sustained a broken nose in Game 2 of Minnesota's six-game series loss to Vegas. The 28-year-old forward accumulated 14 goals, 29 points, 140 shots on net and 82 hits across 46 regular-season appearances before adding three assists in six playoff outings.

Wild's Joel Eriksson Ek: Supplies two helpers
Eriksson Ek notched two assists, two shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Golden Knights in Game 5.
Eriksson Ek has three helpers over the last two contests after opening the series scoreless in three games. The 28-year-old has added 19 shots on net, eight hits, eight blocked shots and a plus-1 rating this postseason while skating in a top-line role. Eriksson Ek's all-situations usage should allow him to make a large impact now that the Wild are facing elimination in Thursday's Game 6.

Wild's Joel Eriksson Ek: Gets on scoresheet with helper
Eriksson Ek registered an assist, four shots on goal and two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Golden Knights in Game 4.
Eriksson Ek helped out on Jared Spurgeon's game-tying goal in the third period. The 28-year-old Eriksson Ek hasn't enjoyed the scoring bounty of linemates Kirill Kaprizov and Matt Boldy -- the helper was Eriksson Ek's first point this postseason. The center has added a plus-3 rating, four PIM, 17 shots on net, seven hits and eight blocked shots while seeing top-line minutes, so he's in a good position to succeed.

Wild's Joel Eriksson Ek: Forces overtime Tuesday
Eriksson Ek scored a goal on six shots, doled out four hits and added two PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Ducks.
The Wild just needed to get to overtime to make the playoffs, but it wasn't looking good until Eriksson Ek scored with 22 seconds left in regulation. It's his fifth goal in four games since returning from a lower-body injury. The center finishes with 14 goals, 29 points, 140 shots on net, 82 hits, 36 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating over 46 regular-season outings. He's set to play a top-six role in the playoffs.

Wild's Joel Eriksson Ek: Tallies four goals in dream return
Eriksson Ek scored four goals on eight shots, added four hits and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 8-7 overtime win over the Sharks.
Eriksson Ek returned from a 21-game absence due to a lower-body injury, and he showed up in about the biggest way possible. Prior to the injury, he had scored just nine goals in 42 outings this season. He had two goals in each of the second and third periods, and two of the tallies came on the power play. The center is up to 28 points (10 on the power play), 131 shots on net, 73 hits, 31 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating through 43 contests. Eriksson Ek will fill a top-six role and see power-play time, so fantasy managers shouldn't hesitate to activate him.

Eriksson Ek has nine goals and 24 points in 42 appearances with the Wild in 2024-25. He was last in the lineup Feb. 22. Eriksson Ek is projected to play alongside Marcus Foligno and Matt Boldy in his return. The 28-year-old Eriksson Ek should also see time on the second power-play unit.

Eriksson Ek (lower body) skated before Thursday's game-day practice but remains week-to-week, per Jessi Pierce of NHL.com.
