Brodin (lower body) will be in the lineup to face Tampa Bay on Tuesday, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Head coach John Hynes said Monday that Brodin (lower body) is expected to miss approximately 6-8 weeks, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

Brodin's status for the Olympics was already in doubt, and this update confirms that. The 32-year-old blueliner is on injured reserve and considered week-to-week, but he'll be out for nearly six weeks at a minimum due to the injury.

Brodin (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Brodin (lower body) is week-to-week, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Brodin logged two assists, four blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Monday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Brodin logged an assist and four blocked shots in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Brodin (lower body) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

Following a four-game absence, Brodin will probably return to the lineup against Edmonton on Saturday. He has produced three goals, nine points, 28 shots on net and 66 blocked shots across 30 appearances this campaign.

Brodin (lower body) was moved to injured reserve Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Brodin has already missed enough games that his placement on IR won't impact his recovery timeline. The 32-year-old blueliner will miss his fourth straight game against Columbus on Thursday, and it's unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup despite being considered day-to-day.

Brodin (lower body) is not expected to travel to Columbus for Thursday's game, Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barring a surprise at practice Wednesday, Brodin is set to miss his fourth straight game Thursday. The 32-year-old is still considered day-to-day, but it's unclear if he'll suit up for the first of three games in four days when the Wild host the Oilers on Saturday.
