Brodin left Tuesday’s game with an upper-body injury and did not return.

Brodin left midway through the second period following a collision with Vladimir Sobotka in Tuesday’s win over the Blues. Head coach Bruce Boudreau said that he expects to learn the severity of Brodin’s injury on Wednesday, so expect to get some form of timetable on his return later today.

The Wild have placed Jonas Brodin (finger) on IR.

Brodin is still on-pace to return to the Wild lineup later this week, but he was moved to IR this morning so the Wild could call-up Alex Tuch and Zack Mitchell from Iowa (AHL). Tyler Graovac is on waivers today, so when he’s sent down that will open a roster spot and when Brodin is ready to go then Gustav Olofsson will be sent down so Brodin can be activated.

Brodin broke his finger on Tuesday; expected to miss at least two weeks.

Brodin will see a hand specialist on Wednesday and will miss a number of weeks, but they will determine whether it will be 2-3 weeks or four-plus weeks. Brodin’s absence leaves the Wild to replace nearly 20 minutes on the back-end; Nate Prosser will likely draw into the lineup on Thursday.

Brodin (illness) will not travel to Philadelphia.

Brodin (upper-body) will not play on Thursday.

There is still no word on exactly what is ailing Brodin after he crashed into the boards heavily on Monday. However, he won't be in the lineup for the second straight game and should be considered day-to-day until there is more information released on the severity of his injury.

Wild head coach Mike Yeo said Brodin is "sore in a couple different spots" and is listed as day-to-day.

Brodin crashed violently into the end-boards after being checked from behind by Chris Kreider on Monday. He returned for the third period of that game, but was too banged to play last night. Brodin reportedly had his left hand bandaged up after Monday's game, but it sounds like he is battling a a couple of minor injuries.

The Wild have signed Jonas Brodin to a six-year, $25 million deal.

Brodin, 21, is in his third NHL season and has one assist through two games after scoring eight goals with 11 assists (19 points) in 79 games a season ago. This is a very good deal for both sides as they have locked up a key member of their blueline for the next six years.
