Matt Boldy’s breakout fuels offensive and defensive success
Boldy’s line with Joel Eriksson Ek and Marcus Johansson became a two-way force as Minnesota posted its first pair of 40-goal scorers.
- Forward Matt Boldy entered Saturday's Game 1 in Texas as the Minnesota Wild opened their playoff series, coming off a career-best 42-goal regular season.
- Three years ago, the Stars held the then-22-year-old Boldy scoreless during their playoff matchup, but the 25-year-old forward now feels more confident and better prepared for postseason intensity.
- Playing alongside Joel Eriksson Ek and Marcus Johansson, Boldy uses his 6-foot-2 frame to thrive in 'dirty areas' near the net, forming a powerful two-way force for the Wild.
- Coach John Hynes praised Boldy as "one of the best players in this league," while Boldy ranks second on the team behind Kirill Kaprizov's 45 goals this season.
- After winning a gold medal with Team USA at the Winter Olympics two months ago, Boldy's journey from Boston College and the National Team Development Program has positioned him as a vital playoff contributor.
