Eriksson (lower body) is "a week to two weeks away from returning," per coach Willie Desjardins.

EDGE Analysis

Eriksson's performance has not been up to snuff lately, as he's managed a total of three points and a minus-2 rating in his last 19 games despite averaging 18:14 of total ice time, including 2:15 on the power play, over that span. He'll sit for the next week or two and youngster Nikolay Goldobin will likely get the chance to prove his worth in the meantime.
