Boyd scored twice and added two assists in AHL Toronto's 5-2 win over Hershey on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Boyd was once with Hershey while in the Capitals' organization, so this might have been a bit of a revenge game for the veteran forward. He's up to seven goals and four assists over nine outings in 2025-26. Boyd is playing well with the Marlies, but his path to the NHL is closed unless the Maple Leafs need to replenish their bottom-six forward depth at some point down the line.

Boyd scored twice in AHL Toronto's 4-1 win over Rochester on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

This was Boyd's debut for the Marlies. The 32-year-old failed to make the Maple Leafs' Opening Night roster but is one of the more experienced forward options in the Toronto system. Last season, he posted 53 points in 63 games for AHL Iowa, reaching the 50-point mark for the third time in an AHL campaign in his career.

Boyd was put on waivers by Toronto on Saturday, per James Mirtle of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Boyd is a veteran of 299 regular-season NHL games, but he spent the bulk of 2024-25 with AHL Iowa, recording 22 goals and 53 points across 63 outings. Boyd is expected to report to AHL Toronto in the likely event that he clears waivers.

Boyd signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with Toronto on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Boyd collected 22 goals and 53 points in 63 regular-season contests with AHL Iowa in 2024-25. The 31-year-old forward has 47 tallies and 118 points in 299 NHL regular-season appearances, but he could spend most of the 2025-26 campaign in the minors.

Boyd was recalled from AHL Iowa on Monday along with forwards Brendan Gaunce, Hunter Haight, Ben Jones and Liam Ohgren, defensemen Cameron Crotty and Carson Lambos, and netminder Samuel Hlavaj.

EDGE Analysis

Boyd was one of eight players to form the Wild's Black Aces promotions after AHL Iowa failed to qualify for the Calder Cup Playoffs. The 31-year-old Boyd logged just three NHL games for the Wild this season in which he failed to register a point or a shot on goal.

Boyd was sent back to the minors Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Boyd's demotion leaves the Wild without any extra healthy forwards ahead of Tuesday's matchup with St. Louis, but the team likely is trying to accrue some cap savings when possible. The 31-year-old Boyd has logged just three games for Minnesota this season in which he generated three blocks and one hit while averaging a career-low 7:48 of ice time.

Boyd was recalled from AHL Iowa on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Boyd has had several brief stints with the NHL club earlier this year, and he was held pointless with three blocked shots and a hit while averaging 7:48 of ice time over three appearances. He'll rejoin the Wild since the team is dealing with multiple absences, but it's unlikely that he'll have a significant role during his time with Minnesota.

Boyd was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Boyd's reassignment would seem to indicate that either Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body) or Yakov Trenin (upper body) will be available for Monday's contest against Chicago. Boyd's appeared in three games with Minnesota this season, averaging 7:48 of ice time while failing to record a point.

Boyd was called up from AHL Iowa on Friday, according to Michael Russo of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Boyd has logged three goals and 18 points over 17 AHL games this year. The center got hot after he was sent down Dec. 8, with a goal and six assists across four games with Iowa. Boyd has not had any success offensively at the NHL level in two games this season. He could join the Minnesota lineup on the fourth line after Yakov Trenin was placed on injured reserve with an upper-body injury Thursday.

Boyd was sent to AHL Iowa on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Boyd has been a healthy scratch for the last five games. He hasn't earned a point in two NHL appearances this campaign while posting two blocked shots and one hit. Boyd has two goals and nine assists in 13 AHL outings this season.
