Svenskarna i Wild spelade med brutna ben i slutspelet

Minnesota Wild-backen Jonas Brodin och centern Joel Eriksson Ek avslöjade att de spelade med allvarliga fotskador under Stanley Cup-slutspelet. Båda spelarna missade matchserien i andra omgången mot Colorado efter att ha brutit ben i sina högerfötter mot Dallas. Avslöjandena kom under lagets avslutande medieträff på fredagen.

Brodin ådrog sig en bruten stortå efter att ha blockerat ett skott i match fem i den första omgången mot Dallas Stars. Skadan krävde operation och höll honom borta från match sju och hela matchserien mot Colorado Avalanche. Eriksson Ek bröt hälbenet i match sex mot Dallas och var begränsad på träning inför match tre mot Colorado, men kunde inte åka skridskor effektivt på grund av smärtan.
