Brodin generated an assist in Monday's win against the Islanders.

It was an eventful night for the 30-year old defenseman, especially after not playing since Dec 8. Brodin returned from injury (upper body) Monday night and produced an assist, three shots on goal, one blocked shot, and a plus-2 rating on 20:06 TOI. It was a welcome sight for the Wild as they have had a rash of injuries recently and they sorely needed some reinforcements. Brodin will return to the ice again Thursday when the Wild face off against the Lightning.
