Brodziak (paternity) is set to join the Wild in Ottawa in time for Thursday's game, Michael Russo of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Brodziak wasn't present for the morning skate after he was away from the team to witness the birth of his second child, but he'll make a separate flight to Ottawa and likely arrive at some point in the afternoon. Coach Mike Yeo indicated he planned on using Brodziak on Thursday, likely as the center for the Wild's fourth line.
