Steph Chambers \/ Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>MONTREAL \u2014 Minnesota Wild defenseman Jonas Brodin will miss the Olympics with a lower-body injury, a league source confirmed to The Athletic on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Brodin\u2019s timeline for a return to the Wild lineup is six to eight weeks. NHL Olympians are scheduled to leave for Milan on Feb. 7, with the gold-medal game on Feb. 22.<\/p>\n<p>Sweden coach Sam Hallam had said in an interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aftonbladet.se\/sportbladet\/a\/ExpPAG\/carlsson-och-brodin-ser-ut-att-missa-os\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Sportbladet<\/a> on Monday that he wasn\u2019t expecting Brodin to be available. He also said in that interview that he expects Anaheim Ducks forward Leo Carlsson to miss the Games but that he\u2019d know more in a few days. The Ducks <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/6978301\/2026\/01\/16\/ducks-leo-carlsson-injury-olympics\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">announced on Friday<\/a> that Carlsson will miss three to five weeks after undergoing a procedure on his left thigh.<\/p>\n<p>Hallam didn\u2019t return a text message from The Athletic.<\/p>\n<p>The injuries are adding up for the Swedes. Minnesota Wild center Joel Eriksson Ek, Colorado Avalanche winger Gabriel Landeskog, Toronto Maple Leafs winger William Nylander, Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman and Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Erik Karlsson are also out of action right now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know all the treatment guys around every team here in the NHL is so good that hopefully they can get them back in shape and go there,\u201d Wild goalie Filip Gustavsson said after Monday\u2019s win in Toronto. \u201cIf it happens they can\u2019t be there, Sweden\u2019s got a lot of good players in the NHL. We\u2019re going to be just fine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Team Sweden hasn\u2019t made any official roster changes yet.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">John Hynes confirms my story from earlier today that Jonas Brodin will be shut down for the Olympics. Chance Eriksson Ek and Bogosian return later this week. Boldy unlikely. He\u2019s not sure on Johansson yet<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Michael Russo (@RussoHockey) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RussoHockey\/status\/2013744844678500701?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">January 20, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Among the forwards who can be in the mix to be added to the roster are Wild winger Marcus Johansson, Calgary Flames center Mikael Backlund and San Jose Sharks winger William Eklund. Potential replacements on defense include the Detroit Red Wings\u2019 Simon Edvinsson, Edmonton Oilers\u2019 Mattias Ekholm and Boston Bruins\u2019 Hampus Lindholm.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jonas Brodin is expected to miss six to eight weeks, according to a league source.
