Wild's Jonas Brodin: Five shots on goal in win
Rotowire
Brodin recorded five shots along with five blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Islanders.
The assistant captain was firing the puck on net Tuesday -- he recorded eight total shot attempts and five of them were on net. In the past four games, Brodin has three assists along with 10 shots on goal. The 30-year-old is known for his defensive play and has 10 blocked shots in this span. Logging over 23 minutes of ice time per game, Brodin is tied for fifth in the league with a plus-10 rating.
Brodin brushed twine in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Blue Jackets.
With the score tied, 2-2, early in the third frame, forward Joel Eriksson Ek found himself swarmed by Blue Jackets near the cage, which gave Brodin plenty of real estate to receive the puck and bury his first goal of the season. Brodin has provided a goal, two helpers and a plus-5 rating through the first five games. The 30-year-old blueliner will do his part to stay healthy following his injury-riddled 2022-23 campaign, which included a mere 14 points (three goals, 11 assists) through 60 games.

Wild's Jonas Brodin: Resting against Nashville
Rotowire
Brodin will be a healthy scratch for Thursday's season-finale clash with the Predators, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Brodin did miss a game recently due to an undisclosed injury, so he is likely being scratched to ensure he will be 100 percent for the playoffs. With the 29-year-old blueliner limited to just 60 games this year, he failed to reach the 20-point threshold for just the second time in his last seven seasons.

Rotowire
Brodin (lower body) has yet to resume skating, but he'll travel with the Wild for the team's upcoming two-game road trip, which begins Thursday in Vancouver, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.
Although this is encouraging news for Brodin, he'll presumably need to log at least one full practice with his teammates before rejoining the lineup. The 29-year-old defender has only picked up 11 points through 49 contests this campaign, so most fantasy managers shouldn't need to track his status.
