That ironman finish by Brodin alongside Zach Bogosian, who was on the ice for three seconds more than Brodin’s 2:41, should have smelled like victory since their ferocious defending helped the Wild preserve their rally, 6-4, over St. Louis on Tuesday at Xcel Energy Center, and it apparently tastes like pizza.

The Minnesota Wild have yet another defenseman unavailable on Thursday night, adding to an ever growing list of injury problems.

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.

The Minnesota Wild have added defensemen Jonas Brodin and Brock Faber to their list of key injured players and left them out of the lineup for their game against Colorado.

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.
