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

Wild's Jonas Brodin: Week-to-week
Rotowire
Brodin (lower body) is week-to-week, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports Thursday.
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.

Wild's Jonas Brodin: Placed on injured reserve
Rotowire
Brodin (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.
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.

Rotowire

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.

Wild's Jonas Brodin: Picks up helper Sunday
Rotowire
Brodin logged an assist and four blocked shots in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche.
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.

Wild's Jonas Brodin: Set to miss more time
Rotowire
Brodin (upper body) will miss Sunday's game against Boston, per Joe Smith of The Athletic.
It will be Brodin's second straight game on the shelf, and he will probably be out for longer. His injury is more than day-to-day, but it's not expected to keep him out for more than one week. Brodin has three goals, nine points and 66 blocks in 30 appearances this season. Quinn Hughes will make his Wild debut Sunday after being acquired from Vancouver on Friday, which could result in Matt Kiersted drawing out of the lineup despite Brodin's continued absence.

Wild's Jonas Brodin: Scores lone goal in win
Rotowire
Brodin scored a goal and blocked four shots in Tuesday's 1-0 win over the Oilers.
A clean faceoff win by Nico Sturm set up Brodin for a blast from the point that evaded Stuart Skinner at 13:11 of the first period. That held up as the lone goal of the game, and it was Brodin's first goal in over a month. He had a goal and four helpers over 14 outings in November while seeing steady top-pairing minutes. For the season, the 32-year-old has racked up three goals, nine points, a plus-6 rating, 26 shots on net and 55 blocked shots through 26 appearances. Brodin won't wow anyone with offense, but he's a steady source of defensive stats if he can stay healthy.

Wild's Jonas Brodin: One of each Saturday
Rotowire
Brodin scored a goal, dished an assist, blocked four shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.
This was Brodin's first multi-point effort of the season, and it snapped a five-game skid. The 32-year-old defenseman sees plenty of ice time, but he's in a shutdown role, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to be a regular contributor on offense. Brodin is at two goals, two assists, eight shots on net, 24 blocks and an even plus-minus rating across 12 appearances while playing in the Wild's top four.

Wild's Jonas Brodin: Manages assist in overtime loss
Rotowire
Brodin posted an assist and two PIM in Saturday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Flyers.
Brodin missed the season opener while recovering from an upper-body injury. He's since logged 20-plus minutes in four of his five appearances, and his helper on a Vladimir Tarasenko goal Saturday was his first point. Brodin has added three shots on net, seven blocked shots and a minus-4 rating while resuming a top-four role on the blue line. With Zeev Buium around to handle the power play, Brodin is likely to remain in a purely defensive role this year, though he could still chip in 20-25 points through heavy usage alone.

Wild's Jonas Brodin: Won't play Thursday
Rotowire
Brodin (upper body) won't play in Thursday's Opening Night matchup against the Blues, Sarah McLellan of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
There was some hope that Brodin would be available for Thursday's regular-season opener despite landing on injured reserve Monday, but he'll be forced to miss at least one game to begin the 2025-26 campaign. However, head coach John Hynes said Thursday that Brodin's return is "imminent," so it's possible that the 32-year-old will be cleared to play as early as Saturday against the Blue Jackets.
