Wild defenseman Zach Bogosian out for Game 5 against Avalanche with lower-body injury

The banged-up Minnesota Wild were without defenseman Zach Bogosian for Game 5 against Colorado on Wednesday night because of a lower-body injury
MAY 14 • Associated Press
Won't travel to Colorado Eriksson Ek (lower body) will not join the team for Game 5 in Colorado on Wednesday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Impact Eriksson Ek will be sidelined for his fifth straight game due to his lingering lower-body injury. The fact that the 29-year-old center isn't even traveling with the team doesn't bode well for his availability for Game 6 back in Minnesota either. If the Swede does return, it figures to be in a top-six role.

In contention Saturday Eriksson EK (lower body) hasn't been ruled out for Saturday's Game 3 clash with Colorado, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Impact Eriksson Ek has been out of action for both games for the Wild's second-round series due to his lower-body issue. In six games against the Stars, the 29-year-old center notched three goals and two assists, including a pair of power-play points. If Eriksson Ek is given the green light to play in Game 3, he should reclaim a spot in the top six in addition to seeing power-play minutes.
