Eriksson Ek had three hits and four shots on net in a 3-2 loss to the Hurricanes on Tuesday.
After leaving Saturday's game with an undisclosed injury, Eriksson Ek returned to his regular spot on the first line centering Matt Boldy and Kirill Kaprizov. Failing to pick up a point, the 27-year-old center saw his six-game point streak come to a close. If he continues to receive top-line minutes and maintain his current level of play, he could easily surpass his previous career high of 61 points.
