The Wild already were missing captain Jared Spurgeon (lower body), who is expected to be out for another week or two after taking a slew foot from Nashville forward Zachary L’Heureux in their game on Dec.

Minnesota Wild defenseman Brock Faber was ruled out for the remainder of Tuesday night's game against the St. Louis Blues due to an upper-body injury after leaving the ice slowly during a shift in the first period at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minn.

That ironman finish by Brodin alongside Zach Bogosian, who was on the ice for three seconds more than Brodin’s 2:41, should have smelled like victory since their ferocious defending helped the Wild preserve their rally, 6-4, over St. Louis on Tuesday at Xcel Energy Center, and it apparently tastes like pizza.
