Head coach John Hynes said Friday that Eriksson Ek (lower body) has been skating with the team and is waiting to see how he responds, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports. Eriksson Ek has been out of the lineup since Dec. 3. He will miss his eighth consecutive game Friday against Utah, but he could be getting close to a return to action. Eriksson Ek has five goals and eight assists over 22 appearances this season after a huge 2023-24 campaign in which he had 30 goals and 34 assists across 77 regular-season games.

Eriksson Ek (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Friday. Eriksson Ek was already regarded as week-to-week, so this move doesn't alter his timetable. The 27-year-old, who exited Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over Vancouver because of the injury, has five goals and 13 points in 22 appearances in 2024-25. Reese Johnson was summoned Wednesday from AHL Iowa and is likely to make his NHL season debut Friday versus Anaheim.

Eriksson Ek (undisclosed) is considered week-to-week, the Wild announced Wednesday. Eriksson Ek was already ruled out for Friday's game against Anaheim, and it seems he'll end up missing more time than that. He has five goals and 13 points in 22 outings in 2024-25. Unless Jakub Lauko (lower body) is ready in time to face the Ducks, Minnesota will need to either recall a forward from the minors or dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen.

Eriksson Ek (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Anaheim, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports. While general manager Bill Guerin ruled Eriksson Ek out for Friday's matchup due to his undisclosed injury that he sustained Tuesday against the Canucks, Guerin isn't worried that the 27-year-old center is facing a long-term absence. While it's not yet clear whether Eriksson Ek will be available for Saturday's game against the Kings, he should be considered day-to-day for now.

Eriksson Ek (undisclosed) appeared to aggravate an injury when he exited Tuesday's game versus the Canucks during overtime, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports. There was no update on Eriksson Ek's status following the contest. That leaves him questionable ahead of a three-game road trip for the Wild. They play a back-to-back Friday and Saturday against the Ducks and Kings, respectively, before concluding the trip in Utah on Tuesday.
