Brodin (undisclosed) left Friday's game versus the Avalanche, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Head coach John Hynes didn't have an update on Brodin or Zach Bogosian (lower body) after the contest, leaving the Wild's defense in a precarious spot ahead of Sunday's game versus the Bruins. The Wild are expected to know more about Brodin's availability Saturday, but if he's out, it will be a big loss for a team that has already been struggling defensively in recent contests.

Brodin scored a goal in a 4-3 overtime loss to Canada at the 4 Nations Face-Off on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

He wired a high shot from the right circle that went in short side over Jordan Binnington's left shoulder. Binner would like that goal back, but it was still a sweet snipe for Brodin, who had played just three NHL games after a month's absence due to injury before the tourney opened up. Brodin isn't an offensive stud, but he instead provides excellent two-way, shutdown defending for both the Wild and the tre kroner.

Brodin logged an assist in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

This was Brodin's second game back from a lower-body injury that cost him 12 contests. The Wild have been cautious with the 31-year-old blueliner -- he is averaging 22:56 of ice time this season, but he hasn't broken 19 minutes in either of his two appearances since returning to action. Brodin has 17 points, 54 shots on net, 69 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating through 33 outings. With both of Brock Faber and Jared Spurgeon healthy, it's unlikely Brodin will see much power-play time.

Brodin (lower body) was activated off long-term injured reserve Tuesday, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Brodin last suited up against the Blues on Jan. 7 -- the left-shot blueliner has sat out the last 12 games. The 31-year-old has provided four goals, 16 points and a plus-10 rating across 31 appearances this campaign. Brodin will skate alongside Jared Spurgeon on the second pairing Tuesday against the Bruins.

Brodin (lower body) will "most likely" be in action versus the Bruins on Tuesday according to head coach John Hynes, Sarah McLellan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brodin has been out of action for the Wild's last 12 contests, so he is eligible to be activated off long-term injured reserve once given the all-clear. Prior to getting hurt, the 31-year-old Swede was rolling offensively with seven points in his last seven outings. Look for Brodin to link up with the No. 2 power-play unit once taken off LTIR.

Brodin (lower body) was moved to long-term injured reserve Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Brodin isn't expected back until at least after the team's upcoming four-game road trip, so this move to LTIR isn't expected to impact his recovery timeline. Prior to his absence, the 31-year-old blueliner was rolling with points in four straight games in which he notched one goal, four assists and six shots. With the cap savings, the Wild figure to bring an extra forward up from the minors for the trip.

Brodin (lower body) won't accompany the Wild on the team's upcoming four-game road trip, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Brodin has missed the last nine games and may not return before the 4 Nations Face-Off. He has compiled four goals, 16 points, 54 shots on net, 67 blocked shots and 17 hits through 31 appearances this season. Once healthy, Brodin could bump Jon Merrill or Declan Chisholm from the lineup.

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

EDGE Analysis

Minnesota converted David Jiricek's emergency recall to a regular recall in a corresponding move. Brodin has missed the last four games and won't play during Minnesota's two-game road trip, which begins Saturday versus Nashville. He has accounted for four goals, 16 points, 54 shots on net and 67 blocked shots through 31 appearances this season.

Brodin (lower body) will not join the Wild for their two-game road trip, Sarah McLellan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Considering Brodin has already missed four games due to his lower-body issue, and will now be out for at least two more, he figures to be a strong candidate for injured reserve if Minnesota needs the roster spot. It's a tough blow for the veteran blueliner, as he has registered a point in six of his last seven outings for a combined two goals and five helpers. With Brock Faber (upper body) back in action, the last spot on the blue line will go to Travis Dermott or David Jiricek -- at least until Brodin is given the all-clear.

Brodin (lower body) won't play in Wednesday's home game against the Oilers, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Brodin has dealt with a lower-body injury for nearly a week, and he'll be unavailable for a fourth consecutive game Wednesday. Brock Faber (upper body) will also remain sidelined against the Oilers, so Travis Dermott and David Jiricek should continue to see time in the lineup. Brodin's next chance to return will be against the Predators on Saturday.
