For the second day in a row Joel Eriksson Ek is on the ice working with skating and skills coach Andy Ness on a series of vigorous drills. Look forward to an update from head coach Dean Evason on the @mnwild lineup for Game 1 Monday night in Dallas later this morning.

Great news!! When Kaprizov started skating with Andy Ness, someone said that practicing with the skating coach is one of the last steps in recovery & means they’re real close. Wasn’t Kap back 2-3 games after beginning to skate?? Hoping for a similar trajectory🤞🏼
JEEk got that wolverine blood
Hopefully they can split the games in Dallas and then get Ek back for the rest of the series.
It wouldn’t shock me if he’s in game 1 or 2
Beautiful news! Go get ‘em, EKKER!!!
