Wild Will Be without Joel Eriksson Ek, Jonas Brodin for First Two Games of Series vs. Avalanche
Minnesota will reevaluate Joel Eriksson Ek and Jonas Brodin after Game 2, coach John Hynes said, as both miss the opening games with lower-body injuries.
- The Minnesota Wild coach John Hynes announced that forward Joel Eriksson Ek and defenseman Jonas Brodin will miss the first two games of their Western Conference second-round series against the Colorado Avalanche due to lower-body injuries.
- Eriksson Ek suffered his injury during the clinching Game 6 against the Dallas Stars when his leg hit the wall, while Brodin also sustained a lower-body injury; neither player accompanied the team to Denver.
- In the Dallas series, Eriksson Ek recorded three goals and two assists with a 56.4% faceoff win rate. "Ekky's a big part of the team," Hynes said, emphasizing the group must compensate collectively.
- Given the break between Games 2 and 3, Hynes said "both those guys will be reevaluated and see where it goes from there." He remains "hopeful" Eriksson Ek could play in Game 3.
- The Avalanche will also be without defenseman Josh Manson, who missed the series clincher with an upper-body injury. Avalanche coach Jared Bednar confirmed Nick Blankenburg will replace Manson in the lineup.
