Brodin has not played since Nov.27th due to a lower-body injury but will be back in the Wilds' lineup Friday on a pair with Matt Dumba. The 29-year-old has four assists, 29 SOG and 12 PIMs in 19 games prior to the injury.
Brodin woke up on Monday not feeling well and will not play Thursday vs. the Oilers. The Wild have been dressing seven defensemen, so expect Alex Goligoski to replace Brodin on the blueline and Nic Petan to dress as the 12th forward.
Brodin has missed the last six games with an upper-body injury but was back at practice this week and is expected to play Friday. Brodin has tallied three goals with 13 assists (16 points) in 29 games this season.
Brodin reportedly took a puck off of the hand in Boston and will not play Saturday and could be out for at least one week. The Wild will be without Brodin and Kirill Kaprizov tonight, both were hurt Thursday.
The Wild desperately missed Brodin and Jared Spurgeon in the Winter Classic, so getting Brodin back for Thursday's game will be a huge addition. Brodin heads into Thursday's game with seven points (1G / 6A) in his last 10 games.
There was some optimism that Brodin would be activated ahead of tonight's game but that will not be the case. Calen Addison will suit up to replace Brodin.
Brodin missed the last two games with an upper-body injury but will play vs. the Hurricanes. With Brodin back, Jordie Benn will be a healthy scratch. Brodin, who has one goal and six assists (seven points) in his last eight games, will skate with Mathew Dumba.
Brodin has been out since February 2nd but was on the ice for Friday's practice and is expected to play Saturday in Anaheim. Brodin had a nice start to the season, posting six points (2G / 4A) in his first 11 games.
Brodin is entering the final year of a six-year deal that he signed in 2014. Starting in the 2021-22 season, Brodin's AAV will go up from $4.167M to $6.0M, tying him for the 26th highest-paid blueliner in the NHL. Brodin is a terrific defensive-defenseman but is also coming off of a career-high 28 points (2G / 26A) in 69 games.
Brodin has been sidelined since February 6th but will replace Mike Reilly, who was traded to Montreal on Monday. Brodin has played on the power-play this season, but won’t return on the PP tonight. Brodin has five goals, 10 assists and a plus-19 rating in 53 games this season.
Brodin left midway through the second period following a collision with Vladimir Sobotka in Tuesday’s win over the Blues. Head coach Bruce Boudreau said that he expects to learn the severity of Brodin’s injury on Wednesday, so expect to get some form of timetable on his return later today.
Brodin is still on-pace to return to the Wild lineup later this week, but he was moved to IR this morning so the Wild could call-up Alex Tuch and Zack Mitchell from Iowa (AHL). Tyler Graovac is on waivers today, so when he’s sent down that will open a roster spot and when Brodin is ready to go then Gustav Olofsson will be sent down so Brodin can be activated.
