Boedker (ruptured spleen) will rejoin the team in Arizona on Thursday, but will remain out for another 3-to-5 weeks, Sarah McLellan of the Arizona Republic reports. Boedker had been hospitalized in Winnipeg after a hit to the gut during a game against the Jets prior to the All-Star break required surgery. He's been resting comfortably for several days, and expects to have the stitches on his chest removed Sunday or Monday. The Coyotes will probably keep Boedker off the ice for another week or two before he tries to work himself back into playing shape.
