Joel Eriksson Ek did not travel with the Wild for their game against the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday because of a broken nose. The forward is expected to be available when Minnesota visits the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday. He left a 5-4 shootout loss to the Seattle Kraken on Saturday following an elbow by Adam Larsson at 7:07 of the second period.

Minnesota Wild center Joel Eriksson Ek did not make the trip with the team to face the Winnipeg Jets after a possible injury scare.

The Minnesota Wild are hoping Joel Eriksson Ek has nothing more than a bloody nose after he went to the trainer's room after taking a big elbow to his face during the Minnesota Wild's game against the Seattle Kraken Saturday night in St. Paul.
