Brodzinski returns to practice after missing last two games

0 Comments

Jonny Brodzinski’s back. The Reign’s leading goal scorer has returned to practice after missing two games last weekend due to a mid-body injury. On Thursday he donned a purple jersey with his linemates, giving the indication that he’s clear for contact.

The 6-foot-0, 202-pound right wing, who leads the Reign with 21 goals in 51 games and is second in points with 40, was initially injured last Wednesday on a hit from behind by Stockton’s Garnet Hathaway in the second period. He did not play the rest of the period but returned in for the third.

Here’s a look at the play, courtesy of Sheng Peng:

When asked about Brodzinski’s condition earlier this week, head coach Mike Stothers quipped, “Jonny’s hurt.”

Brodzinski posted on Instagram to his @brodzyy account on Tuesday night, a photo of himself and Brett Sutter celebrating a goal this season with the words: “we’re back.” It was later deleted.

Below is Joey Zakrzewski’s practice update from today with visuals of Brodzinski skating:
