Wild Forward Matt Boldy Sidelined Week-to-Week with Lower-Body Injury

Boldy, a key player for the Minnesota Wild, may miss the season opener on October 10 against Columbus.

Matt Boldy, 23, is week-to-week with a lower-body injury and did not practice on Monday.
The injury could prevent Boldy from playing in the season opener on October 10 against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Boldy is coming off a career-high season with 69 points, including 29 goals and 40 assists.
The Wild missed the playoffs last season partly due to injuries to key players like Jared Spurgeon, Jonas Brodin, and Mats Zuccarello.
Potential replacements for Boldy in the lineup include Liam Ohgren, who made his NHL debut last season.
