Boudreau didn’t know yet the extent of the injury after the game.
“I don’t know to what extent it is broken, what hand it is, whether it’s the tip, whether it’s the base, any of that stuff,†Boudreau said. “I don’t have a clue yet. We’ll probably find that out more tomorrow.â€
Broken fingers can be wide-ranging timelines, a lot determined on where the break is, what type of break and whether surgery is needed. If Brodin is lost long-term, it will be a bigtime problem. Not only has that been proven in the past any time he has been in the lineup, just look at the mess it created tonight.
To get by, either right-shot Nate Prosser will have to play the left side or more likely Mike Reilly or Gustav Olofsson, both left-shot D, will be recalled. The Wild was due, quite frankly. It hasn’t had a player miss a game to injury since before Christmas.
i didnt catch the injury i sure hope he will be ok soon. was it a dirty play or an accident?
Did it happen on the hit at the end of the first period? Didn't see him again, and I was watching the Devils feed and they never mentioned it.
I was saying in some other thread that I wasn't in love with the blueline depth. I think we're about to see why. Brodin to Prosser (or Reilly or Olofsson) is a significant downgrade.
Well, to be fair, any team losing one of their top 4 defenseman and replacing him with their 7th, 8th, or 9th D is going to see a significant downgrade.
