Stars Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 02:16:07 PST

Loui Eriksson is a quiet guy. The Stars have their personalities in the locker room, and Eriksson is as affable and positive as they come. But talkative? Attention-getting? Nope, he's not the one you hear chirping on or off the ice.

Instead, Eriksson just goes ahead and does a quiet man's work. He made the best noise possible last season, when he recorded a career-high 36 goals. Given that, expectations for him were high entering 2009-10. And after a bit of a slow start this season, Eriksson is once again tallying the goals.

Once again, he's doing it without much fanfare.

Eriksson netted two goals against Minnesota on Saturday night, both on power plays, and is second on the team with eight (behind James Neal with nine).
