Analysis:

The Wild have lost four straight games, yielding 15 goals over that span, and this latest development for Brodin really stings. He's an up-and-coming defenseman who has been averaging more than 20 minutes of ice time per game and has been known to stifle the opposition with suffocating defense. Minnesota has recalled forward Tyler Graovac upon sending Brodin to IR.
