Eriksson Ek scored the game-winner and added an assist in Thursday's 5-2 win over Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

That's Eriksson Ek's 29th tally of the season and snaps a seven-game skid. That seven-game goal drought came on the heels of a hat trick and a four-game stretch over which he scored seven times. While he has 57 points in 63 games, Eriksson Ek can run hot and cold in terms of offensive production. Though, in terms of his utility to the Wild, he's always logging big, important minutes.

Eriksson Ek had three hits and four shots on net in a 3-2 loss to the Hurricanes on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

After leaving Saturday's game with an undisclosed injury, Eriksson Ek returned to his regular spot on the first line centering Matt Boldy and Kirill Kaprizov. Failing to pick up a point, the 27-year-old center saw his six-game point streak come to a close. If he continues to receive top-line minutes and maintain his current level of play, he could easily surpass his previous career high of 61 points.

Given the late nature of the injury in the final contest of Minnesota's road trip, an update on Eriksson Ek may not be available until the team returns home. The center had an assist Saturday, his 15th point over the last eight appearances and his 54th point through 58 outings overall. It would be a huge absence if Eriksson Ek is forced to miss any time.

Eriksson Ek is on pace for a career year with 53 points, 208 shots on net, 127 hits, 44 blocked shots and a plus-15 rating through 57 outings. He's looking like a true power forward with a solid two-way game.

The 27-year old center also added three helpers, four shots on net, one hit, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in 21:23 of ice time.

EDGE Analysis

He tied the game 1-1 early in the third frame with a wrist shot from the slot after a drop pass from Kirill Kaprizov. Eriksson Ek's 25th goal of the season extended his point streak to four games. He has four goals and two assists during that span and has lit the lamp in three straight outings. He's one goal from tying his career mark set in 2021-22. Eriksson Ek has upped his shot volume significantly this season, pacing toward a total that would flirt with the 300 mark for the first time in his career. He also sits eighth in the NHL in faceoff wins (541) but is still working on his technique, as he's the only guy in the top 19 in that category who wins less than 50 percent of the time (49.7). The growth in his game is obvious, and Eriksson Ek has quietly become one of the best two-way pivots in the NHL.

Eriksson Ek scored a power-play goal on three shots, added an assist and logged four hits in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

This was Eriksson Ek's second straight multi-point effort and his sixth such game in his last 11 outings. The 27-year-old is up to 24 goals, 44 points, 196 shots on net, 108 hits, 40 PIM and a plus-14 rating through 53 appearances. He's getting a boost while centering Kirill Kaprizov and Matt Boldy on the top line, so Eriksson Ek is a strong fantasy play.

The 27-year-old center is surging with eight goals and 14 points over his last 10 outings while seeing top-line usage in a majority of those games. On the year, he's produced 23 tallies, 42 points, 193 shots on net, 102 hits, 40 PIM and a plus-13 rating through 52 appearances, putting him on track to finish around the 61-point campaign he had in 2022-23.

Eriksson Ek contributed an assist in Friday's 3-2 win over the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Eriksson Ek's apple advances his running point total to 40; he has put up 21 goals and 19 assists through 51 games. The top-line pivot managed only one shot in the latest contest, but that's proven to be an outlier, as he's recorded at least two shots in all but five contests in this productive 2023-24 campaign. Remember, Eriksson Ek was drafted 20th overall by the Wild in 2015, and the continuity of him sticking with the same team seems to be paying significant dividends.
