Wild’s Matt Boldy Out Week-To-Week

October 16, 2023 at 12:10 pm CDT | by Josh Erickson Leave a Comment

Minnesota Wild forward Matt Boldy is out week-to-week with an upper-body injury sustained against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday, GM Bill Guerin tells The Athletic’s Michael Russo. At this time, he’s not expected to be out long enough to be eligible for long-term injured reserve, but the Wild will re-evaluate him when they return from their road trip.

Boldy, 22, has quickly cemented himself as a core member of the Wild’s attack since turning pro in 2021. Last season – his first full one in the NHL – he notched 31 goals and 63 points in 81 contests, finishing second on the team in goals. The performance was strong enough to earn him a sizable seven-year, $49MM extension from the Wild mid-season.

The 12th overall pick of the 2019 NHL Draft is well on his way to putting up high-end point totals with responsible defensive impacts, posting a 52.6% Corsi share last season while receiving a near-equal amount of offensive and defensive zone starts. He notched a goal and assist through two contests this season before leaving the game against Toronto early.

His absence adds to a tricky cap situation for the Wild, who now have a combined $14.575MM on the shelf with captain Jared Spurgeon dealing with a shorter-term upper-body injury. That’s on top of the $14.75MM in space the Wild have tied up in the buyouts of Zach Parise and Ryan Suter, meaning Minnesota has nearly $30MM in dead money on the books for the time being until one of Boldy and Spurgeon can return. The Wild do not have cap space to make a corresponding transaction here and will likely dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen against Montreal on Tuesday.

If there is a player likely to slide up to the top-six in Boldy’s wake, look for veteran winger Marcus Foligno to reprise his role as a winger on a line with Joel Eriksson Ek, something he’s done with regularity over the past few seasons. Normally, Jordan Greenway was riding shotgun with them, but he’s now a member of the Buffalo Sabres after a trade last season.
