Loui Eriksson's scoring slump has intensified.
The talented winger has scored only one goal in the Stars' last 12 games after notching 10 before U.S. Thanksgiving. Eriksson was on pace to shatter his season-high in goals and shots on goal three weeks ago, but now has fallen considerably behind that pace. We expect Eriksson to rebound shortly, but his inconsistent play has been a cause for concern.

Loui Eriksson netted his 10th goal of the season before Thanksgiving.
With Brad Richards gone, Eriksson has been firing a lot more shots on goal this season. Eriksson is on pace to record 242 shots, which would shatter his previous career-high of 214 set in 2009-10. Eriksson has fallen just short of the 30-goal mark in each of his previous two seasons, but we wouldn't be surprised if he ends up with 30-40 goals in 2011-12.

Dallas Stars' forward Loui Eriksson notched an assist in a 4-1 win over the Edmonton Oilers Monday night.
Consistent offensive production from Loui Eriksson has without a doubt been one of the major keys to the Stars' strong start. With his 10th assist Loui is begging to cement himself as an elite offensive threat in the NHL. Look for the Swede to continue producing offensively as the Stars stay hot.

Loui Eriksson notched three assists while Jamie Benn scored two goals in the Dallas Stars' dominant 5-2 win against the Carolina Hurricanes.
Both forwards improved their 2011-12 season totals to 15 points, emphasizing that they rank among the NHL's unheralded stars. Eriksson brings a great mix of defensive skills and scoring savvy to the table while Benn uses his size and finishing touch to become an irresistible force on offense. Eriksson set up Benn for a shorthanded goal, so if your league has that rare stat, then they were even more valuable than usual.

Loui Eriksson is fine after suffering a minor thigh injury on Thursday.
Eriksson sustained the injury when he was pushed into the boards in the third period of the Stars' preseason contest. However, Eriksson was back on the ice Friday and coach Glen Gulutzan said Eriksson is 99% healthy. We'll err heavily on the side of caution by listing him as day-to-day, but we would be very surprised if this incident slows him down.
