Brodin produced a goal and an assist in Friday's 3-2 win over the Penguins.

The veteran defenseman missed Minnesota's first game after the All-Star break due to an illness but returned with a bang Friday. He found the back of the net in the second period before picking up a helper on Kirill Kaprizov's game-winner in the third. Brodin missed over a month in December and January with an upper-body injury, but since getting back in the lineup he's been a key part of the Wild's blue line. He has delivered one goal, six points, 18 shots on net, 22 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in his past eight appearances.
