Jonathan Brodzinski (born June 19, 1993) is an American professional ice hockey player for the New York Rangers of the National Hockey League (NHL). Brodzinski was selected by the Los Angeles Kings in the fifth round (148th overall) of the 2013 NHL entry draft.

Playing career

Amateur

Brodzinski attended Blaine High School where he was teammates with former Minnesota Wild center Nick Bjugstad. After high school, Brodzinski played two seasons in the United States Hockey League (USHL) with the Fargo Force.

Brodzinski attended St. Cloud State University where he skated three seasons with the Huskies. As a freshman he led all NCAA freshmen with 22 goals and as a junior he was named to the National Collegiate Hockey Conference (NCHC) All-Conference First Team during the 2014–15 season. He finished his college career with 64 goals and 48 assists for 112 points in 120 games played.

Professional

On April 1, 2015, the Los Angeles Kings signed Brodzinski to a two-year, entry-level contract. He was then assigned to the Kings American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Ontario Reign.

On January 5, 2017, Brodzinski, and teammate Vincent LoVerde, were selected to compete in the 2017 AHL All-Star Game.

Brodzinski was called up to the Kings on March 23, 2017, and made his NHL debut on March 25, against the New York Rangers. When he debuted, he became the first Los Angeles Kings player to wear the number 76 and the first player who was part of the Kings' 2013 draft class to appear in a game for the team.

Brodzinski was recalled to the NHL on November 16, 2017. He scored his first NHL goal on November 18, in a 4–0 win against the Florida Panthers. On January 7, 2018, he was reassigned to the AHL only to be recalled on January 14, after playing three games in the AHL since he was last recalled. He was demoted again on January 25, only to be recalled temporarily on January 29, along with three other teammates.

As a free agent from the Kings, Brodzinski signed a one-year, two-way contract with the San Jose Sharks on July 2, 2019. After making the Sharks opening night roster for the 2019–20 season, he appeared in three games for the club before he was placed on waivers on October 11. Assigned to AHL affiliate, the San Jose Barracuda, Brodzinski tallied 14 goals and 16 assists for 30 points in 44 games before the season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

On October 9, 2020, Brodzinski left the West Coast as a free agent in securing a one-year, two-way contract with the New York Rangers. On February 28, 2022, he signed a two-year contract extension with the Rangers. He has since spent time both with the Rangers and with their AHL affiliate, the Hartford Wolf Pack. On February 21, 2024, the Rangers signed Brodzinski to a two-year contract extension.

Personal life

Brodzinski's younger brother, Michael, was taken just seven selections before him in the same NHL draft by the San Jose Sharks. The two brothers competed against each other multiple times during college as Michael played for the University of Minnesota. Brodzinski also has two more younger brothers, Easton and Bryce. Easton plays for the Allen Americans of the ECHL after playing in college for St. Cloud State University, while Bryce, who was a seventh-round draft pick by the Philadelphia Flyers in 2019, plays for the Ontario Reign of the American Hockey League after playing in college for the University of Minnesota. Bryce was also named 2019 Mr. Hockey for Minnesota High School Hockey.

Brodzinski also plays in The “Da Beauty League” In the off-season.
