Eriksson Ek scored a goal Thursday in a 4-3 overtime loss to Canada at the 4 Nations Face-Off. Eriksson Ek roofed the puck into the net after settled a cross-crease pass from Jesper Bratt around the midpoint of the third period. It tied the game and forced overtime. He came into the contest on a four-game point drought. Eriksson Ek's production this year has been held back by injury -- he has just nine goals and 14 assists in 41 games, a far cry from his two 60-plus point campaigns in 2022-23 and 2023-24.

Michael Russo of The Athletic reports Sunday that Eriksson Ek (lower body) will officially represent Team Sweden in the 4 Nations Face-Off. Eriksson Ek, along with Wild teammates Filip Gustavsson and Jonas Brodin, will take on Team Canada in the first game of the international tournament Wednesday. Eriksson Ek will most likely be heavily relied upon in the defensive zone considering the plethora of talent that he'll go up against. The left-shot center has struggled on offense with just 23 points in 41 games in 2024-25, but his defensive acumen will be vital for Sweden.

Eriksson Ek (lower body) won't play Saturday versus the Islanders, per Michael Russo of The Athletic. Eriksson Ek has nine goals and 23 points in 41 appearances in 2024-25. The Wild will dress seven defensemen due to Eriksson Ek's absence, so Travis Dermott or Jon Merrill will draw back into the lineup. Eriksson Ek's status for the 4 Nations Face-Off is currently unclear.

Eriksson Ek notched a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Maple Leafs. Eriksson Ek has a point in three straight contests (two goals, one assist). The 28-year-old center's increase in productivity has come with a move to the top line. He hasn't been able to replicate his numbers from the last two years, but he has nine goals, 14 helpers, 101 shots on net, 60 hits and a plus-8 rating over 37 appearances. Eriksson Ek should continue to offer supporting offense and a physical edge for fantasy.

Eriksson Ek scored a power-play goal on four shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Blackhawks. Eriksson Ek has scored in back-to-back games and looks to be turning things around on offense. The 27-year-old center has also played on the top line over the last two contests, which should help his production while seeing time alongside Kirill Kaprizov and Mats Zuccarello. Eriksson Ek has nine goals, 22 points (seven on the power play), 98 shots on net, 59 hits and a plus-8 rating over 36 outings.
