25 Jonas Brodin D

Wild's Jonas Brodin: Lackluster showing in season opener

Brodin didn't get any time on the power play, which is worrisome, but he did get 2:59 of ice time on the penalty kill. Brodin at age 25 could bounce back to the career-high 25 points he scored in 2016-17, but he'll need to get more power-play ice time.

Wild's Jonas Brodin: Impressive stats in preseason win

While both his helpers came at even strength, Brodin did lead the Wild in ice time with the man advantage, skating 7:18 on the power play. That was a result of Ryan Suter not being in the lineup, but if Brodin does see a jump in his power-play role, the 25-year-old should be able to top the career-high 25 points he scored in 2016-17.

Wild's Jonas Brodin: Ends two-month goal drought

Brodin last scored Jan. 25 against Pittsburgh, and he finishes the season with six goals and 21 points in 73 games. It is the first time Brodin has played more than 70 games in three seasons. His offensive ceiling isn't very high so it's unlikely he'll ever score a lot of points, but he's very dependable in his own end. He finishes the season with a career-high plus-23 rating.

Wild's Jonas Brodin: Snags helper Wednesday

Brodin now has points in three straight games (all helpers), while averaging 23:41 of ice time. The Swede should continue to eat up big minutes for the Wild with Jared Spurgeon (hamstring) and Ryan Suter (ankle) sidelined.

Wild's Jonas Brodin: Blocks four shots in return

The 24-year-old defenseman missed the previous nine games with a hand injury, but he showed no lingering signs of the affliction Tuesday. Brodin slots into a top-four role for the Wild, but fantasy owners will probably want to aim higher in most settings. He has just 15 points through 54 points and doesn't receive consistent power-play time.
