Minnesota Wild defenseman Jonas Brodin has been ruled out for Thursday's Game 6 against the visiting Dallas Stars and is day-to-day because of a lower-body injury.
Brodin, 32, left Tuesday's Game 5 at 1:44 of the second period after blocking a Mikko Rantanen shot. After the game, which Minnesota won 4-2, Brodin was seen on crutches with his foot in a medical boot.
'It's really for today,' Wild coach John Hynes said Thursday of Brodin being out. 'It's one of the things that guys get evaluated and it's kind of a little bit of a moving target, so that's why today he'll be out, but I would classify him as day-to-day because as the day goes on, tomorrow, there could be an improvement or it could be the same.'
The Wild lead the Western Conference first-round series 3-2 and with a victory can advance to the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time since 2015.
Jeff Petry will replace Brodin and pair with defenseman Zach Bogosian, while Jake Middleton will move up to the second line and pair with Brodin's regular linemate, Jared Spurgeon. Petry, obtained in a trade with the Florida Panthers on March 5, was a healthy scratch in the first five games.
Brodin, a native of Sweden, has one assist, a plus-2 rating, four penalty minutes, 14 blocks and two hits in five playoff games.
He recorded 18 points (four goals, 14 assists) in 62 regular-season games. For his career, all with Minnesota since the 2012-13 season, Brodin has 278 points (62 goals, 216 assists) in 915 games. He also has 18 points (two goals, 16 assists) in 78 playoff games.
