Joel Eriksson Ek Will Miss First Two Games of Colorado Series
Minnesota Wild center Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body) did not travel to Colorado on Sunday. His lower-body injury will cause him to miss at least the first two games of the series against the Avalanche. The hope is that the extra rest between Games 2 and 3 will be a huge asset. Eriksson Ek got banged up and had not been quite right the last two games of the Dallas series. Almost an extra week's worth of rest could prove extremely valuable. It does seem that Eriksson Ek is likely to return for Game 3 on Saturday, but do not be so sure. After all, injuries often take a life of their own in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
