ST. PAUL, Minn. — Minnesota Wild first-line center Joel Eriksson Ek has been placed on injured reserve on with a lower-body injury. The team announced his status as week-to-week. Eriksson Ek felt discomfort following practice. The Wild were still evaluating the extent of the injury. Coach John Hynes said the ninth-year player would miss "a few weeks, for sure." The news was ill-timed for the banged-up Wild. Star left wing Kirill Kaprizov had surgery on Jan. 31 to address a lingering lower-body injury. The Wild announced this week that Kaprizov will be sidelined longer than initially believed.
