Brodin, who has 23 points (seven goals, 16 assists) in 51 games, missed 17 games earlier this season with an upper-body injury.
Brodin, 30, is in Year 3 of a seven-year, $42 million deal he signed with the Wild in September 2020.
Brodin has 236 points (54 goals, 182 assists) in 792 career games with the Wild, who selected him No. 10 overall in the 2011 draft.
The Wild (34-27-8, 76 points) enter Wednesday’s action three points behind the Vegas Golden Knights (36-25-7, 79) for the final wild-card spot in the Western Conference.
