Eriksson Ek will join Minnesota for a contest against the Capitals on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Eriksson Ek elected to finish his season with Farjestad in the Swedish Elite League, but is now ready to join the Wild as the playoffs loom. He played in nine games earlier this season for Minnesota, recording two goals and three assists on the fourth line. The Wild are hoping he will bring a spark to turn their slump around. It's probably not worth putting him in a fantasy lineup right now, but his long-term potential is something to keep an eye on.
