Kyle Brodziak finally scored his first goal of the season in the Wild's 2-1 shootout win.
Brodzaik is usually an alright complementary scorer as a third line center, but he has struggled mightily out of the gate. He's not a fantasy option and is a player that is more valuable on the ice than in the box score. Look elsewhere for fantasy options.

Kyle Brodziak was clipped in the face by skate in Nashville on Tuesday, but he participated in Wednesday's practice and is expected to wear protection for the final two games of the regular season.
"He's a little bruised," coach Mike Yeo said. "There's a nasty cut there. One thing about Brodzie is he's tough. Not tough as in he's going to get in 15 fights a year. Tough as in you see him block shots. You see times when he comes off the ice and he's hurt. Then, 30 seconds later, he's back and hasn't missed a shift. He's a real tough hockey player." Brodziak has had a career-year offensively in 2011-12 with 22 goals and 44 points in 80 matches.

Kyle Brodziak potted a goal in the Minnesota Wild's 3-2 shootout victory against the Phoenix Coyotes on Thursday night.
The center's 17 goals mark a career high, and with 33 points, he's bound to set a new career high in that department as well. He's just four off. He hasn't been a great plus/minus player (negative-17), but he has 62 penalty minutes, so he has some worth in deeper leagues. Steven Kampfer potted his first of the season. Darroll Powe, Matt Cullen and Devin Setoguchi had the assists.

Kyle Brodziak was a minus-four Thursday.
Not a good night for the center as he is now minus-eight on the season. He does have 15 goals and 29 points this season but unless you are in a very deep league that does not use plus/minus, we would stay away from him.
