Moving out West, the Minnesota Wild announced that defenseman Jonas Brodin would miss the team’s game tonight against the Los Angeles Kings with a lower-body injury. It will mark the 19th game that Brodin has missed this season with injury, as an upper-body injury, as well as another lower-body injury, have kept him out of the lineup for multiple games at a time. Nevertheless, Brodin is still the second-highest-scoring defenseman for the Wild this season, putting up seven goals and 23 points in 51 games. [SOURCE LINK ..read more

Jonas Brodin To Have MRI, Avoided ACL Injury
Pro Hockey Rumors » Minnesota Wild
by Josh Erickson
1w ago
Wild left-shot defenseman Jonas Brodin will undergo imaging today to determine the extent of a lower-body injury he sustained in Tuesday’s 4-0 win over the Ducks, The Athletic’s Michael Russo reports. The belief is that Brodin has avoided an ACL tear in his right knee, which folded awkwardly when Ducks winger Alex Killorn delivered a late shove along the boards (video link, viewer discretion advised). Killorn was not penalized for the play, and he will not face supplemental discipline. While Brodin may not be out months, it’s certainly possible his 2023-24 campaign may be in jeopardy ..read more

1w ago
There’s always something to look forward to for the Vancouver Canucks, who now have full focus on extending defenseman Filip Hronek after extending star forward Elias Pettersson. This deal should cost the Canucks a pretty penny as well, with Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman suggesting in an appearance on CHEK’s Donnie and Dhali (video link) a cap hit within the range of $7.5MM. Hronek has become a crucial piece of Vancouver’s lineup since joining the team at last season’s Trade Deadline. He’s not only boosted his own impact but made the players around him better as well – serving as the perfect p ..read more

The Wild signed forward Rasmus Kumpulainen to a three-year, entry-level contract on Monday, per a team announcement. Financial terms were not disclosed, although Minnesota did confirm the deal will begin in 2024-25.

Wild forward Marcus Johansson skated at practice today as he works his way back from a lower-body injury, relays John Shipley of the Pioneer Press.
