The Wild will be without Jonas Brodin for the next two games. The Minnesota Wild (26-12-4) are on the road for a back-to-back before they return home. They face the San Jose Sharks (13-25-6) on Saturday and the Vegas Golden Knights (28-10-3) on Sunday.

PAUL - The Minnesota Wild (26-11-4) host the Colorado Avalanche (25-16-1) tonight before going on the road. Minnesota is going to be without some major players tonight, including top defenseman Jonas Brodin.

Jonas Brodin will not be in the lineup Thursday when the Minnesota Wild take on the Central Division rival Colorado Avalanche as the veteran defenseman is sidelined with a lower-body injury, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.

A nearly three-minute shift after already skating half the game sounds exhausting, and getting pelted by the puck on the right skate looked painful. But how did Jonas Brodin feel? Like he was having a ball.
