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.
Unless a player like Marco Rossi from Iowa can step up and fill the role, the Wild may be out of luck.
This could very well be the end of the Wild's cup hopes before the playoffs even start.
