Despite being waived Monday, Eriksson is on Vancouver's 23-man roster ahead of Wednesday's Opening Night clash with the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Although he's still with the big club, Eriksson is projected to be a healthy scratch against Edmonton. The 35-year-old vet struggled last season, notching just 13 points in 49 games, so he'll likely be a common presence in the press box in 2020-21.

Vancouver placed Eriksson on waivers Monday.

EDGE Analysis

After four seasons with the club, Eriksson was never able to reach the level of play expected of him. In 2019-20, he played 49 games, scoring six goals and seven assists. He will likely be one of the first to be called up as he can be placed anywhere in the lineup. It wasn't uncommon for him to play on Bo Horvat's line last year, although that opportunity didn't made him viable in fantasy.

Eriksson (undisclosed) will return to the lineup for Tuesday's Game 2 against Minnesota, Rick Dhaliwal of TSN 1040 Vancouver reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eriksson missed Game 1 with an undisclosed injury, but he'll jump back into his bottom-six role for Game 2. The 35-year-old vet notched 13 points in 59 games during the regular season.

Eriksson (undisclosed) is listed as a scratch for Sunday's tilt with the Wild, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear why Eriksson isn't suiting up but he also missed last Wednesday's exhibition game. The 35-year-old was a healthy scratch on several occasions during the regular season, so even if he's fit to play he may not make the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Wild.

Eriksson (undisclosed) isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's exhibition game against the Jets, Irfaan Gaffar reports.

EDGE Analysis

Unless the Canucks disclosed that Eriksson is sitting Wednesday for injury reasons, there isn't yet any reason to be worries about his status for Saturday's tilt against Minnesota. Across 49 games in the regular season, Erikkson had just six goals and 13 points.

Eriksson watched Tuesday's meeting with the Islanders from the press box.

EDGE Analysis

Eriksson had been regularly playing in the Canucks top six on Bo Horvat's line, but the return of Brock Boeser (ribs) has pushed Eriksson out of the lineup for the time being. He has just six goals and 13 points in 49 games on the campaign.

Eriksson scored a goal and delivered an assist in Saturday's 9-3 drubbing of the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

Eriksson assisted Tanner Pearson in the second period, and then scored one of his own just 51 seconds later. The two-point effort snapped a nine-game drought for the Swede, who now has 12 points and 50 shots in 42 appearances. He's seen a limited role lately, reaching 15 minutes just three times in the last 10 games -- Eriksson's inconsistency and lack of physicality will typically keep fantasy owners away.

Eriksson collected an assist in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Eriksson has a goal and three helpers on his current four-game point streak. The Swede is up to 10 points, 38 shots on goal and a plus-5 rating in 32 contests this season. While he's hot, he could help fill out rosters in DFS formats.

Eriksson had an assist, three shots on goal, two blocked shots and two PIM in Monday's 3-1 win over the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Eriksson had the primary helper on Bo Horvat's empty-net goal. The assist gave Eriksson points in three straight outings. The Swedish winger has nine points, 37 shots and 10 PIM through 31 games this season. He's not been a factor in many categories, which makes the 34-year-old tough to justify from a fantasy perspective.

Eriksson posted a goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Eriksson broke a scoreless deadlock with his tally at 14:05 of the second period. The Swede is up to five goals and eight points in 30 games. He's added 34 shots on goal and a plus-4 rating.
