Minnesota Wild winger Matt Boldy (lower body) will play in Thursday's season opener against Columbus. The prolific forward sustained a lower-body injury early into training camp and has steadily worked his way back to full health. Boldy returned to full practice at the start of the week and has now been declared available for the first game of the season. The 23-year-old has practiced on the second line with Marcus Johansson and Joel Eriksson Ek. Boldy, who notched 69 points (29 goals, 40 assists) in 75 games last season, will also be part of the first power-play unit.
Minnesota Wild winger Matt Boldy (lower body) is considered week-to-week after he missed Monday's practice. Boldy was unable to practice after sustaining a lower-body injury at the weekend. There are some fears Boldy might be unavailable for the regular-season opener due to the injury, but Wild head coach John Hynes has said that it's not a serious issue, and Boldy is expected to be back by the end of training camp. Boldy is a big piece of the Wild's offense and finished second in scoring on the team last season, putting up 69 points (29 goals, 40 assists) in 75 outings. He has improved his production in three straight campaigns, and another jump will be expected from the 23-year-old in 2024-25.
Minnesota Wild winger Matt Boldy had two goals as the team recorded a 4-2 road win against the Oilers on Friday. Boldy scored the first goal of the game late in the first period, and his second marker in the middle of the third frame ended up being the game-winner. The American youngster registered his 11th career multi-goal effort -- only Marian Gaborik (14) has had more such games at age 22 or younger in Wild history. Boldy has blown hot and cold in recent games, but fantasy managers won't complain about his overall numbers. The Wild winger has totaled six goals and seven assists in eight games this month, pushing his overall tally to 46 points (22 goals, 24 assists) with 50 games played.

He helped Marcus Foligno on the scoreboard early in the game before hitting two goals, including one on the power play, in the second period. The Wild are looking like a completely different team under John Hynes, and the new head coach has also gotten some extra juice out of Boldy, who's posted four goals and one assist in four games since Minnesota's coaching change. In his previous 12 appearances this season, Boldy has produced only one goal. He's reached 13 points in 16 contests for the campaign.
Minnesota Wild winger Matt Boldy (upper body) will likely return to the lineup on Thursday against the New Jersey Devils.

The 22-year-old had a goal and an assist in his first two games this season after an excellent sophomore campaign where he notched 63 points (31 goals, 32 assists) in 81 games. If he does return Thursday, he should slot right back into his role on the second line and first powerplay unit, making him a must-start fantasy option.
