1:30 p.m.: As expected, the Wild announced<\/a> that they\u2019ve placed Brodin on injured reserve due to the lower-body ailment. Additionally, the team has recalled defenseman Carson Lambos<\/a> from AHL Iowa in a corresponding roster move.<\/p>\n

1:00 p.m.: The Minnesota Wild are again losing a top-four defenseman for the foreseeable future. According to Michael Russo of The Athletic<\/a>, defenseman Jonas Brodin<\/a> is set to miss the next few weeks with a lower-body injury.<\/p>\n

Russo articulated that Brodin\u2019s lower-body ailment didn\u2019t come from a specific play. He asserted that this is related to the lower-body issue that caused Brodin to miss nine days in mid-December and has been nagging him since then. The 14-year veteran has already missed five games for the Wild this year.<\/p>\n

Given that Minnesota has six games in the next week and a half, Brodin is in danger of failing to cross the 70-games played plateau for the fourth straight year. The oft-injured blue liner has only appeared in 73% of the Wild\u2019s regular-season contests since the 2022-23 campaign. He is signed through the 2027-28 season at a $6MM cap hit.<\/p>\n

Still, when healthy, he\u2019s one of Minnesota\u2019s best defenders. Throughout the last four injury-plagued campaigns, Brodin has scored 17 goals and 76 points in 214 games with a +58 rating. At even strength, he has averaged a 91.6% on-ice save percentage while beginning most of his shifts in the defensive zone.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Brodin\u2019s current injury could have negative consequences for Team Sweden during the 2026 Olympic Games. He scored one goal in three games for the Swedes during last year\u2019s 4 Nations Face-Off, and seven points in 10 games during the IIHF World Championships.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Brodin\u2019s absence will allow one Wild defenseman to make his NHL debut this evening. Yesterday evening, Minnesota recalled<\/a> prospect David Spacek<\/a> from the AHL\u2019s Iowa Wild, and he\u2019s expected to be in the lineup this evening. The 22-year-old has scored three goals and 19 points in 35 games for AHL Iowa this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"1:30 p.m.: As expected, the Wild announced that they\u2019ve placed Brodin on injured reserve due to the lower-body…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":98472,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5118],"tags":[5,402,3647,161,38,5280,4,180,162],"class_list":{"0":"post-409457","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-minnesota-wild","8":"tag-hockey","9":"tag-injury","10":"tag-jonas-brodin","11":"tag-minnesota","12":"tag-minnesota-wild","13":"tag-minnesotawild","14":"tag-nhl","15":"tag-team-sweden","16":"tag-wild"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/409457","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=409457"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/409457\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/98472"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=409457"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=409457"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=409457"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
