Hello! My name is GhostRiver, and I'll be conducting this GA review. I will assess the article against the good article criteria. Once I complete my review, you will have seven days to implement the suggested edits.
 * , I believe I have addressed all of your concerns to date. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 16:11, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

Infobox and lede

 * Would bulk this up a bit with a couple key moments or stats from after he was drafted

Personal life

 * Can cut the word "parents" in the first sentence, the "to" already implies parentage ✅
 * hockey playing family as his hockey playing family: his ✅
 * was drafted by was selected by or was taken by to limit repetition of "draft" ✅
 * because of his dedication to the sport and his playing skills due to his playing skills as well as his dedication to the sport ✅

Sweden

 * "for the Färjestad BK" wherever it appears ✅
 * Link 2014–15 to 2014–15 SHL season ✅

 * season and eventually raised his draft ranking from 22nd to fourth among all international skaters season, entering the draft as the fourth-highest rated international skater ✅
 * It was suggested by numerous hockey analysts Several hockey analysts theorized ✅

Minnesota Wild

 * Comma after ahead of the 2016–17 season ✅
 * Specify which game made him the first Wild teenager to have a three-assist game ✅
 * The source only says the game was against the Bruins so I added this reference from NHL.com as well to show it was on October 26 and he got three points
 * "General manager" isn't capitalized ✅
 * in order to not burn the first year of his contract split infinitive + informal language. Suggest combining this with sentence before it to make something like After two games as a healthy scratch, Eriksson Ek was returned to Färjestad BK on 17 November, thus preserving all three years on his rookie contract. ✅
 * Comma after He made his debut in Game 1 of the series ✅
 * Don't need the line about 2017 Worlds here, that'll be covered in the int'l play section ✅
 * Add kg conversion for 10 pounds of muscle ✅
 * Can cut second sentence of second paragraph and just say that USA Today named him a rookie to watch. ✅
 * scored the teams' scored the team's ✅
 * continued to struggle to score goals and assists continued his scoring struggles ✅
 * Cut last sentence of second paragraph, Chuck's firing doesn't affect JEE ✅
 * "their momentum was stagnated" ✅
 * This isn't necessary to put in the article, but the Greenway - Eriksson Ek - Kunin line was called the GEEK Squad
 * The double E just gives you so much to work with! HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 22:34, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Cut the line about Fenton being replaced by Guerin for the same reason as above (not directly relevant) ✅
 * Comma after lost veteran centerman Mikko Koivu and Eric Staal ✅
 * Cut line about the 2020-21 season format ✅
 * Although he injured his knee in Game 6, Eriksson Ek returned to finish the game but remained injured. Confusing wording ✅
 * "Eriksson Ek remained the Wild's top-line center going into the 2021-22 season but swapped" ✅
 * second-fastest goals to start a game How fast were they? ✅
 * Added to article. Gotta love oddly specific stats. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 22:34, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

International play

 * Move medal table to this section per MOS ✅
 * "his home country of Sweden" ✅
 * He first represented Sweden at He first played with the Sweden under-18 team both for flow and to make the WL make more sense ✅
 * "although the team failed to medal both times." ✅
 * Would be helpful to have his goal and point tallies from all tournaments, not just 2017 Worlds ✅

Player profile

 * Described as an aggressive offensive threat By whom? ✅
 * "Eriksson Ek says he models his game after" ✅
 * "assistant general manager" doesn't need to be capitalized ✅
 * his ability to be a two-way player his skill as a two-way player ✅
 * Swap the general description from Stubb for the direct quote of "great speed, a good strong shot and excellent puck-handling" ✅

Career statistics

 * Make sure this section is sourced
 * At the very bottom of the article, it says Biographical information and career statistics from and then lists a bunch of sources. Is this alright? It is pretty standard on other articles. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 18:41, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I've been told the statistics tables need specific citations under them. (Shrug). Something to bring up with the WikiProject. —  Ghost River  19:30, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

Other comments

 * No stability concerns, nominator is primary editor
 * One photo is properly licensed. Would recommend cropping so that just Joel is in the photo ✅
 * Earwig copyvio score looks good, a pass reveals it's all proper nouns and direct quotes

Apologies for the delay, I have been dealing with personal and medical issues. Earwig is down as of my writing this, so I'll let you address the prose comments before I do a CV sweep. Putting on hold. —  Ghost River  20:05, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
 * No worries, health always comes first. Fun fact: I looked at other GA hockey articles for inspiration on the lead and began copying JVR's article when I realized it seemed familiar...two years fly by! HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 18:49, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Made a couple extra tweaks. I'd go to the WikiProject to get clarity on whether career statistics sections should be cited so we can get consensus. Passing now. —  Ghost River  19:30, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
