didn't he take a puck to the nose or something over in Sweden? thought he got his face damaged over there the year after his draft.

Good news on the Jonas Brodin front. As of now, coach Mike Yeo says no surgery is planned and Brodin may even skate tomorrow, although maybe not with the team. Brodin will obviously wear a full cage for awhile. So cautious good news right now.
Charlie Coyle practiced again today. He's also not going on trip, nor is Josh Harding or Jonas Brodin #mnwild
Brodin doubtful for Monday's game vs Chicago too. Yeo says its a long season, not pushing him back into lineup #mnwild
I bet playing with a shield will affect his play. It's going to be interesting to see how he handles that.
Shield/cage isn't going to make a difference for anyone.
If this is the case why arent everyone playing with it?
More protection and doesnt make your vision worse..?
Think your wrong mate.. It isnt much, but its a difference for sure..
That is why we have N/C Cat-Eye, and visors..

Full cages and shields aren't allowed in the NHL for safety reasons, although once they get rid of fighting, they'll probably allow and mandate it eventually, probably in about 15 years or so.
It's really dumb to play with anything other then a full cage/shield IMO. This is a sport with hard rubber pucks moving 100 miles an hour.
Brodin was an elite prospect when he was wearing a cage at 17 and he'll be an elite defenseman wearing a fishbowl when he returns. If you're good, you'll be good wearing a mask.

9.6 Dangerous Equipment - The use of pads or protectors made of metal, or of any other material likely to cause injury to a player, is prohibited. Referees have the authority to prohibit any equipment they feel may cause injury to any participants in the game. Failure to comply to the Referees’ instructions shall result in the assessment of a minor penalty for delay of game.
A mask or protector of a design approved by the League may be worn by a player who has sustained a facial injury.
In the first instance, the injured player shall be entitled to wear any protective device prescribed by the Club doctor. If any opposing Club objects to the device, it may record its objection with the Commissioner.
In cases where a stick may have been modified and it is evident that the edges have not been beveled, the Referee shall deem the stick to be dangerous equipment and removed from the game until the edges can be beveled sufficiently. No penalty is to assessed initially unless the player returns to the ice with the unmodified stick, for which he will be assessed a minor penalty for delay of game.
