The Wild will get some help back tonight.

Michael Russo of the Minnesota Star Tribune reported some positive news for Wild fans today. Jonas Brodin who has missed 7 games following the outbreak of the mumps will be back in the line up tonight. He's not just back to be back either, according to head coach Mike Yeo Brodin is "much much better", in fact it appears Brodin "looks like a different guy right now" again according to Yeo. Despite the fact that the Wild has been on a tear with a 5-2 record since his absence, getting a blue liner back who is second in minutes only to Wild superstar Ryan Sutter can only be viewed as good news.

Brodin (out 7 games) says he's playing tonight. Mumps hit him bad; fever, exhaustion and swollen glands for more than a week #mnwild — Michael Russo (@Russostrib) November 28, 2014
