Eriksson will be sidelined for 4-to-6 weeks due to a knee sprain.

EDGE Analysis

The 32-year-old Swede could be out until December, so owners that don't have the option to stash him in an IR spot may want to consider dropping the veteran winger for a more promising option. Nikolay Goldobin or Reid Boucher will likely get recalled from the minors to round out Vancouver's depth up front while Eriksson is in recovery mode.
