Boldy (lower body) is set to return for AHL Iowa against Colorado on Wednesday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Boldy has been out for over three weeks with the injury. The 20-year-old winger could eventually be an option for the Wild's taxi squad, but the team will likely want him to get back up to game speed in the minors rather than watching games from the press box at the NHL level.

Boldy (lower body) left AHL Iowa's game Sunday and got an MRI on Monday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The injury is not related to the fractured ankle he suffered during training camp. Boldy has racked up seven points in seven games with AHL Iowa this season. The severity of his injury is not yet known.

Boldy (ankle) was taken off injured reserve and reassigned to the minors Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Boldy racked up 18 points in 14 minor-league contests last year and will look to continue showing his offensive upside with Iowa against this season. If he can keep up his scoring touch, the 2019 12th overall pick will not be long for the AHL and could earn his way into an NHL debut sooner rather than later.

Boldy (ankle) was placed on non-roster injured reserve by Minnesota on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Considering Boldy is not expected back until mid-November, his placement on injured reserve shouldn't come as a surprise. While the 20-year-old winger will likely have to spend some rehab time in the minors, he could break into the NHL this season and, at a minimum, make his debut for the Wild.

Boldy will be sidelined for 4-6 weeks due to a fractured left ankle suffered in Thursday's preseason game versus Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Boldy, the 12th overall pick from the 2019 Entry Draft, was in the mix for a spot on Minnesota's Opening Night roster, but he'll now almost certainly begin the campaign on injured reserve while rehabbing his ankle injury. Once healthy, the Boston College product could head to the AHL to get into game shape, but he'll almost certainly see significant time with the big club by season's end.

Boldy will have an MRI on Friday to determine the severity of his lower-body injury, Jessi Pierce of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Boldy was in the mix for a spot on the Opening Night roster but this lower-body injury could jeopardize his place on the team. If it's a lengthy absence for the winger, he may be forced to ease his way back into action with a few appearances in the minors with AHL Iowa.

Boldy (lower body) was injured in the third period of Thursday's preseason game versus the Blackhawks, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Head coach Dean Evason didn't have an update on Boldy's status after the game, but he was not optimistic. The 20-year-old winger struggled to get off the ice after an awkward collision in the corner, and eventually needed help to go down the tunnel to the locker room. His status ahead of the Wild's preseason finale versus the Blackhawks on Saturday is uncertain. Missing any time could be a huge blow to Boldy's chances of beginning the season in the NHL.

Boldy was recalled by the Wild on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Boldy will be on hand as an emergency depth option for Minnesota's playoff run. The 12th overall pick from the 2019 draft has racked up 18 points through 14 AHL appearances this year.

Boldy signed a three-year, entry level contract with the Wild on Tuesday. The contract begins this season.
EDGE Analysis
Boldy just finished his sophomore year at Boston College, where he had 11 goals and 31 points in 22 contests. The 19-year-old winger will begin his professional career with AHL Iowa, but he could compete for a roster spot with the big club in 2021-22.

Boldy tallied a goal and added two assists in Boston College's 7-2 win over Harvard on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
It was Boldy's first three-point game of the season and it came in the third place game of the annual Beanpot Championship. Mired in a massive scoring slump for the duration of his freshman campaign in Chestnut Hill, Boldy has played considerably better than his numbers (three goals, 14 points in 26 games) would indicate. With points in five of his past six games, Boldy has begun to find his footing of late. Boldy is a physically mature kid for an 18-year-old and the Wild could look to sign him after his season is complete, but most signs point to Boldy playing a second year of collegiate hockey.
