Brodin suffered the injury in Tuesday night’s game against St. Louis, as he played his final shift midway through the second period and never was seen from again.

This was during Brodin's last shift. His left arm has a weird reaction after going into the boards. Then at the very end the left hand is slightly favored. pic.twitter.com/ZqvIgWtHcS

With Brodin sidelined, the door is open for Gustav Olofsson and Mike Reilly to get some sustained playing time, as both have been splitting time in the final spot on the blue line this season.
