Brodin underwent surgery "a few weeks ago" and is unlikely to be ready for the start of the 2025-26 season, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brodin was limited to 50 regular-season appearances, picking up 20 points, 71 shots on net and 104 blocked shots. The 31-year-old's absence at the start of the campaign could lead to a larger role out of the gate for Zeev Buium. Brodin has missed at least 20 games in each of the last three seasons, so any fantasy manager interested in drafting him this fall should expect him to miss time.

Brodin notched an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights in Game 2.

EDGE Analysis

Brodin helped out on Matt Boldy's opening goal, sending a pass to Kirill Kaprizov who then sent Boldy in on a breakaway. The helper was Brodin's second in the last three games, which follows a 10-game drought. The 31-year-old defenseman had a lot of injury troubles in 2024-25, which limited him to 20 points, 71 shots on net, 104 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating over 50 regular-season appearances. As long as he stays healthy, Brodin will handle top-four minutes in the playoffs.

Brodin logged an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Brodin helped out on Matt Boldy's game-winning goal at 4:42 of overtime. The helper ended a 10-game skid for Brodin, who continues to handle top-pairing minutes for the Wild. The 31-year-old defenseman just managed to get back to the 20-point mark for the seventh time in his 13-year career. He concludes the regular season with four goals, 16 helpers, 71 shots on net, 104 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating over 50 appearances.

Brodin (lower body) is set to play Tuesday versus the Golden Knights, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

This appears to all be part of the plan for Brodin's return to action. He came back from a lower-body injury initially to play Saturday versus the Sabres, but with a crowded schedule, the Wild opted to rest Brodin on Monday against the Stars for the first half of a back-to-back. He's now back in action, while Declan Chisholm (lower body) won't be in the lineup.

Brodin (lower body) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Brodin returned to action Saturday against the Sabres after missing nine games due to a lower-body injury. Head coach John Hynes said Monday that Brodin didn't aggravate his injury, and the defenseman is being held out since the Wild will play three games over the next four days, and the team seemingly wants to manage his workload. The 31-year-old is considered day-to-day, and his next opportunity to suit up will be Tuesday against the Golden Knights. Declan Chisholm will enter the lineup against Dallas on Monday.

Brodin (lower body) picked up an assist and was plus-1 in 20:21 in a 4-1 win over Buffalo on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

It was Brodin's first game back after missing nine games due to injury. Check your wire -- he has four goals and 15 assists in 39 games this season, which is a 40-point pace. Brodin doesn't get power-play exposure, but points are points.

Brodin (lower body) is set to return to the lineup Saturday against the Sabres, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brodin will return to the lineup after missing Minnesota's last nine games with the injury. The 31-year-old blueliner has four goals, 14 points and a plus-10 rating in 38 games this season.

Brodin (lower body) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Brodin was recently upgraded to day-to-day but will be unavailable for a ninth consecutive game Wednesday. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Saturday's home game against the Sabres, but he at least seems to be trending in the right direction.

Brodin (lower body) won't play against the Kings on Monday, per Joe Smith of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Brodin will miss his eighth straight game, but he is nearing a return to the lineup. He stayed on the ice for extra work during Monday's optional morning skate, which was an encouraging sign. Brodin has registered four goals, 18 points, 60 shots on net, 81 blocked shots and 19 hits in 38 appearances this season.

Brodin (lower body) will not play Sunday against Boston and is considered week-to-week, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

It appears that Brodin could be in for another extended absence -- the 31-year-old blueliner played just seven games since returning from a 12-game IR stint with another lower-body injury. Zach Bogosian, who missed Friday's contest with a lower-body injury, will return and take Brodin's place in the lineup Sunday.
