Eriksson Ek (lower body) is expected back in the lineup Tuesday against the Blues but is still awaiting final medical clearance, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eriksson Ek retook his first-line role at practice Monday in addition to linking up with the No. 1 power-play unit. If the 27-year-old center does play, he will be looking to end a six-game goal drought during which he managed just one helper. The return of Eriksson Ek will help to bolster a forward group that will be without Mats Zuccarello (lower body) for 3-4 weeks.

EDGE Analysis

Eriksson Ek exited Thursday's game against the Canadiens due to a lower-body injury, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Saturday's home matchup. However, it doesn't appear as though he's in line to miss significant time, and the Wild will likely monitor him in the hours leading up to Saturday's puck drop before determining his status.

Eriksson Ek (lower body) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

The first period of the contest was costly for the Wild, as both Eriksson Ek and Mats Zuccarello (lower body) left the game. Consider Eriksson Ek day-to-day until the Wild provide another update. Their next game is Saturday versus the Stars.

Eriksson Ek logged an assist and four shots on goal in Friday's 5-2 win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Eriksson Ek snapped a three-game slump with his helper on Jacob Middleton's goal in the first period. Through 12 appearances, Eriksson Ek has played a bit more of a supporting role with five goals, three assists, 30 shots on net, 21 hits and a plus-6 rating. He's playing on the second line and first power-play unit, and based on the past two campaigns, he should operate around a 60-to-65-point pace while adding plenty of shots and hits.

Eriksson Ek scored a goal and went plus-2 in Friday's 5-3 win over the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Eriksson Ek has four goals and two assists over his last five games. The center's second-period tally Friday tied the game at 1-1. He's produced a total of five goals, two assists, 20 shots on net, 17 hits and a plus-5 rating over eight appearances this season.

Eriksson Ek scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Eriksson Ek has scored in consecutive games, and he's up to three tallies and one assist over five appearances this season. The 27-year-old center has added 13 shots on net, 15 hits and a plus-4 rating. With the Wild off to a surprising 5-0-2 start, Eriksson Ek's steady top-six role carries a little more value that usual. He's a strong source of offense in all situations while adding strong volume in shots and hits, and he'll usually chip in some PIM as well, though he's yet to take a trip to the sin bin this season.

Eriksson Ek picked up an even-strength goal and a power-play assist in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Both points came in the second period as the Wild put the game away. It was Eriksson Ek's first multi-point performance of the season, and the 27-year-old center seems fully recovered from the broken nose that cost him two games.
