Jonas Brodin of the Minnesota Wild suffered a leg injury after being body slammed to the ice by Alex Killorn in a game against the Anaheim Ducks. Killorn's play has been criticized as cheap and potentially having a lasting effect on Brodin. Despite the win in Anaheim, the Wild face challenges in the playoff chase due to Brodin's injury.

“Hockey Play” 😐 Alex Killorn on Jonas Brodin https://t.co/x2Q4BKnsjE
Reverse angle of Brodin injury is brutal. Body slammed to the ice by Alex Killorn for zero reason and his right leg got pinned under him. Cheap play by Killorn that could have lasting effect for #mnwild
Looks like a leg injury for Brodin @RussoHockey @JoeSmithNHL #mnwild https://t.co/l4j9cXkmLI
