Minnesota Wild’s Swedish defenseman Jonas Brodin will miss his team’s game at Dallas Stars Wednesday with a lower-body injury.<\/p>\n
He sustained the injury Monday in the 3-2 loss at Arizona. Alex Goligoski will take Brodin’s place alongside Matt Dumba.<\/p>\n
“We feel very comfortable with Goligoski coming in and providing us with what he’s done all year,” coach Dean Evason said.<\/p>\n
“He’s not not playing because he can’t play. It’s been a numbers thing. We’re expecting him to fulfill that role.<\/p>\n
“Obviously, Brods brings a lot to our hockey team with his ability to skate the puck out, a lot of different things with blocking and what have you. We have a capable guy coming in.”<\/p>\n
Filip Gustavsson gets the start in net, what will be his first appearance since a 5-3 loss at Florida on Jan. 21. He and the rest of the Wild will encounter a Stars squad that has been a tough matchup this season.<\/p>\n
After Stars erased a four-goal deficit in the third period before falling 6-5 in a shootout on Dec. 4 on home ice, the Dallas dominated the Wild 4-1 on Dec. 29 at Xcel Energy Center.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
