Wild's Jonas Brodin: Officially ruled out
Rotowire
Brodin (lower body) will not be available for Game 3 versus the Avalanche on Saturday, Dan Rosen of NHL.com reports.
Brodin will be out of action for his fourth straight game due to his lingering lower-body problem. In his last 10 outings, going back to the regular season, the 32-year-old blueliner has failed to find the back of the net while producing two assists, 13 shots and 23 blocks. As long as Brodin is on the shelf, Daemon Hunt figures to continue seeing minutes on the third pairing.
Brodin (lower body) will miss at least the beginning of Minnesota's second-round series against Colorado, Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News reports Saturday.
Brodin won't accompany the Wild to Colorado ahead of Game 1 on Sunday. He also probably won't be available for Game 2, barring a change to his travel plans, and it's still unclear when he will return to the lineup. He sustained the injury in Tuesday's 4-2 victory against the Stars. Due to Brodin's absence, Jeff Petry played in Thursday's series-clinching 5-2 win over Dallas in Game 6.

Wild's Jonas Brodin: Ruled out against Stars
Rotowire
Brodin (lower body) will not be in the lineup for Game 6 versus Dallas on Thursday, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.
Brodin will miss his first game of the postseason, having recorded one assist, six shots and 14 blocks in his previous five outings. With the 32-year-old defenseman on the shelf, Jeff Petry will make his playoff debut in a third pairing alongside Zach Bogosian.
Brodin (lower body) remains questionable for Thursday's Game 6 clash with Dallas, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports.
Brodin was seen leaving the arena on crutches after Game 5 on Tuesday, which wouldn't seem to indicate a short-term absence, but head coach John Hynes wouldn't completely rule the blueliner out for Game 6. If Brodin can't play, both Daemon Hunt and Jeff Petry will be options to replace him in the lineup.

Wild's Jonas Brodin: Seen on crutches after Game 5
Rotowire
Brodin (lower body) was spotted on crutches leaving the arena after his early exit in Game 5 on Tuesday versus the Stars, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Head coach John Hynes didn't offer a specific update on Brodin's status, but it's not a big leap to assume he won't be available in Game 6 on Thursday at a minimum. He can likely be deemed out indefinitely until he's spotted practicing or the team provides a clearer timeline. The Wild also haven't specified who will come into the lineup to take on his top-four minutes.

Wild's Jonas Brodin: Leaves Game 5 due to LBI
Rotowire
Brodin (lower body) won't return to Tuesday's Game 5 versus the Stars.
Brodin blocked a Mikko Rantanen shot in the second period, and it took a bite out of the Minnesota defenseman. It's unclear if Brodin will be able to shake off the lower-body issue in time for Thursday's Game 6 in Minnesota. If he can't play, Daemon Hunt or Jeff Petry would likely draw into the lineup.

Wild's Jonas Brodin: Playing against Bolts
Rotowire
Brodin (lower body) will be in the lineup to face Tampa Bay on Tuesday, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.
Brodin will be back in the lineup for the first time since Jan. 12 versus the Devils, a stretch of 14 games on injured reserve. While the veteran defenseman certainly missed plenty of time, it could have been worse if not for the Olympic break. Brodin is currently in the midst of a 16-game goal drought but has managed six helpers over that stretch, including one with the man advantage.

Wild's Jonas Brodin: Expected to miss 6-8 weeks
Rotowire
Head coach John Hynes said Monday that Brodin (lower body) is expected to miss approximately 6-8 weeks, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.
Brodin had already been ruled out through the Olympic break, and it was previously reported that he wouldn't suit up for Sweden in the tournament. However, his updated timetable suggests that he could also be sidelined for several games after the Wild resume play. A better idea of his status could come into focus in late February, but it's possible that Brodin will be unavailable until at least early March.

Rotowire
Brodin (lower body) won't return before the Olympics and will not represent Sweden at the tournament, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports Tuesday.

Wild's Jonas Brodin: Week-to-week
Rotowire
Brodin (lower body) is week-to-week, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports Thursday.
Brodin could miss the Olympics, as he was named to Team Sweden in December. The defenseman has been bothered by this injury since December, when he sat out four games. Brodin has three goals and 15 points with 91 blocked shots across 42 appearances this season. Look for David Spacek to enter the lineup in place of Brodin.

Wild's Jonas Brodin: Placed on injured reserve
Rotowire
Brodin (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.
The Wild announced earlier Thursday that Brodin is considered week-to-week, so his placement on injured reserve isn't particularly surprising. Head coach John Hynes said Thursday that he isn't sure whether Brodin's injury will impact his status for the Olympics in February, so whether the defenseman will be back in action before next month remains to be seen. Carson Lambos was recalled by the Wild in a corresponding move to provide additional depth in Brodin's absence.

Wild's Jonas Brodin: Posts pair of assists
Rotowire
Brodin logged two assists, four blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Monday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.
Brodin has three helpers and a plus-5 rating over five contests since he returned from a lower-body injury. The 32-year-old Brodin has seen his ice time dip a bit since the Wild acquired Quinn Hughes, though that could help to keep Brodin healthier. The Swedish blueliner has contributed 12 points, 33 shots on net, 78 blocked shots and a plus-16 rating across 35 outings this year.

Wild's Jonas Brodin: Picks up helper Sunday
Rotowire
Brodin logged an assist and four blocked shots in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche.
This was Brodin's second game back from a lower-body injury that cost him four contests. In the time while he was out, the Wild acquired Quinn Hughes, so Brodin may see a slightly lighter workload, though the team figures to lean heavily on its top blueliners anyway. He has 10 points, 30 shots on net, 72 blocked shots and a plus-13 rating in 32 appearances. With Hughes around to help carry the offense, Brodin may function more as a shutdown defenseman moving forward.
