Eriksson Ek delivered a power-play assist in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Eriksson Ek's power-play role fits him well, as he's up to 11 goals and two assists in that key special teams situation. And to think, it took Minnesota up until the 2020-21 campaign -- Eriksson Ek's fifth year with the club -- to give him meaningful man-advantage minutes. The 25-year-old isn't very consistent from one game to the next, but he's already reached a new career high in points with 19 goals and 15 assists through 58 contests.
