The Minnesota Wild have exceeded all expectations this season, especially considering the buyouts of Ryan Suter and Zach Parise. They have now hit a huge obstacle.
Wild Lose Eriksson Ek
On paper, the Minnesota Wild don't have much of a superstar roster, especially with Kirill Kaprizov injured
However, Joel Eriksson Ek is a massive proponent to the teams' success, and his two-way game has made the Wild a competitive team.
Unfortunately, he has now been listed week-to-week with injury, putting a massive damper on what could have been a big season for the Wild.
Joel Eriksson Ek is week to week with a lower body injury. Absolutely devastating to a team with little center depth. Oskar Sundqvist (lower body) is day to day.
Again, sounds like Kirill Kaprizov is on verge of return. Wild will need a forward from Iowa
