Jonas Brodin On Track To Return Sunday
2 years agoMinnesota Wild defenseman Jonas Brodin (illness) was back practicing Saturday and appears ready to return to the lineup Sunday versus Arizona. The Swedish blue-line was knocked out of the lineup by an illness at the start of the week just when he was about to skate in his 700th career game. Brodin posted a career-high 30 points last season, but he has notched only three points in 18 games this term. He's not a very attractive fantasy option, although Brodin does pick up blocks with a nice rate and is capable of helping out managers in that area. He has thrown himself in front of 31 shots this season. The 29-year-old skated with Matt Dumba on the second defensive pairing Saturday.
