Minnesota Wild defenseman Jonas Brodin suffered an apparent leg injury in the third period of Tuesday's 4-0 win against the Anaheim Ducks and didn't return.
Brodin's leg got caught under him and bent awkwardly when Alex Killorn threw him down to the ice.

Brodin has again been a key fixture on Minnesota's blue line this season. He entered Tuesday with 23 points in 50 games while averaging 23:46 per contest - the second-most on the Wild. The Swede's 2.19 expected goals against per 60 minutes at five-on-five is the sixth-best mark among NHL blue-liners, per Evolving-Hockey.
Brodin missed 17 games earlier in the campaign due to an upper-body injury.
