The Minnesota Wild announced that forward Matt Boldy will be sidelined week-to-week due to a lower-body injury, a setback just days into training camp. Head coach John Hynes expressed optimism that Boldy could return in time for the season opener against the Columbus Blue Jackets on October 10. Boldy, who had a standout previous season with 29 goals and 40 assists, was unaware of the severity of his injury after participating in practice over the weekend. His absence could significantly impact the Wild's offensive lineup, as he was a key performer last season, finishing second in team scoring. The team is hopeful for his recovery, given their aspirations to rebound from an injury-riddled 2023-24 season. This injury raises concerns about the team's depth as they prepare for the upcoming season.
