Joel Eriksson Ek is week-to-week with an injury. How much does that hurt the Wild?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:36:12 GMT

Anyone who has followed Joel Eriksson Ek closely throughout his NHL career understands his incredible pain tolerance. It takes a lot for the 26-year-old Swede to leave a game.Which is why the scene on Thursday night was so concerning.With the Wild trying to mount comeback on the road against the Pittsburgh Penguins, Eriksson Ek had to be helped down the tunnel shortly after crumbling to the ice. After blocking a shot from Penguins stars Evgeni Malkin a few seconds earlier, he couldn’t put any weight on his left leg.Less than 24 hours later, the Wild announced that Eriksson Ek is week-to-week, leaving his status for Game 1 of the NHL playoffs very much in doubt. Though coach Dean Evason left room for optimism — “I don’t know,” he said in reference to the timeline. “If you know Eriksson Ek, you never know, right?”  — it sounds as if the Wild are preparing for life without their best center.“We talked about it last night,” Evason said. &#...
