Boldy scored an empty-net goal on six shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Boldy has a pair of multi-point efforts over his last four games, a significant improvement from his relatively quiet February which saw him produce four assists in 13 contests. The 21-year-old winger will likely be asked to take on more of the burden on offense with Kirill Kaprizov (lower body) out for multiple weeks. Boldy's done a decent job this season with 18 goals, 44 points, 209 shots on net, a minus-5 rating, 57 hits and 37 PIM through 66 outings overall.

Boldy delivered a power-play assist and was the shootout winner in Friday's 2-1 win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Boldy's helper counts as his 39th point of the season, tying his rookie output. His shootout goal in this latest contest was rather slick, as he delayed his shot and switched to his backhand at the last second. Drafted 12th overall in 2019, Boldy is quickly ascending the NHL ranks, and it seems inevitable that he'll evolve into a point-per-game player.
