The Minnesota Wild's defenseman Jonas Brodin is set to miss the start of the upcoming NHL season after undergoing surgery. The procedure, aimed at addressing a lingering issue, was deemed necessary for Brodin to ensure his long-term health and performance on the ice. Head coach Dean Evason confirmed the news, stating the team will be closely monitoring Brodin's recovery process.

Brodin has been a stalwart on the Wild's blue line and his absence will be felt in the team's early games. Known for his strong two-way play and ability to log heavy minutes, Brodin's role is integral to the Wild's defensive strategy. The team will need to rely on other defensemen to step up in his absence until he can return to the lineup.

As the Wild prepare for the season, they are working on adjusting their defense pairings. This situation puts additional pressure on players like Matt Dumba and Jared Spurgeon to lead the way. The coaching staff remains optimistic about navigating these challenges and hopes for a quick recovery for Brodin, who is expected to make a significant impact once he returns.
