Minnesota Wild defenseman Jonas Brodin didn't travel with the team to Denver and will miss Sunday night's playoff series opener against the Colorado Avalanche.
Forward Joel Eriksson Ek is listed as questionable to play in Game 1 of the Western Conference second-round series.
Brodin, 32, sustained a lower-body injury during Game 5 of Minnesota's first-round series against the Dallas Stars. He was hurt while blocking a shot by Dallas' Mikko Rantanen during the second period.
Brodin missed the clinching Game 6 victory on Thursday. He had one assist in the series.
In the regular season, Brodin had four goals and 18 points in 62 games.
Eriksson Ek was hurt in Game 6 when his right leg smacked into the wall. He didn't practice on Saturday.
Minnesota coach John Hynes was debating what to do about Ek's spot with his status unclear.
'I'm kind of going through that a little bit right now,' Hynes said. 'So, now you kind of go down that decision-making process of what would we do if he's not ready.'
Ek, 29, had three goals and five points in the Dallas series. In the regular season, he had 19 goals and 51 points in 70 games.
