Article: Joel Eriksson Ek Was Minnesota's Missing Puzzle Piece


Recommended Posts

I was losing hope for this team in December.  But Ek coming back, Rossi stepping up and Faber/Brodin are eating massive minutes with high quality play.  Put it together and this team looks disciplined and sharp again.  Ek is definitely a catalyst for this team.  He really frustrates opposing teams.  Hope he can stay healthy... especially for the playoffs.

Perhaps it was just me, and I didn't get to see the Carolina game, but Ek finally looked healthy against St. Louis. He was the only forward to score against a goalie in the game for us. And, that goal was a biggy. 

Ek brings so much to the table in his game that doesn't show up on a score sheet. With Rossi's improvements, Ek and Rossi are a nice 1,2 punch. 

Now, what happened to Faber? I saw a possible LBI, but not an UPI. This has to be Lambos getting sent back down and Jiricek up to play on Thursday.

Nice gutsy comeback against St. Louis. That was a serious blow to their playoff hopes, and one that we took often last season. 

I know we've got the Avs tomorrow night, and might even get Kaprizov back. But I'm not expecting much with the right side of our defense probably decimated. Sure, Brodin can play right and so can Chissy, but it's kind of different.

Also, Kudos to the 5 who got it done last night, and Fleury really played well sealing the victory.

Did Boldy move to defense with all the injuries? 😱
