Joel Eriksson Ek’s tenure with the Iowa Wild was short. After being sent down to the AHL with fellow rookie Luke Kunin on November 21st, the young Swedish center spent a little less than three weeks in Des Moines before being recalled Wednesday by the big club to participate in the rest of its three-game California road trip. By all accounts, Eriksson Ek—as hoped for by the Wild brass—did regain his confidenceduring his relatively brief stint in the Always Hungry League, scoring three goals and adding four assists while playing seven games in Iowa’s top six.
