Hockey Wilderness · Jan 5, 2022
Boldy and Rossi earned their call-ups with exceptional stints in AHL
With Joel Eriksson Ek still out due to an upper-body injury and the Minnesota Wild playing through a rough patch, it was only a matter of time before there was a roster shakeup.
Earning a record of 5-4-1 in their last ten games, the Wild will head into their game on Thursday against the Boston Bruins with a five-game losing streak, including a 6-4 loss in the freezing environment that was the Winter Classic against the St. Louis Blues. The five-game losing streak — the longest during head coach Dean Evason’s tenure — has led the Wild to make a move that fans have been calling for most of the year, calling up blue-chip prospects Matt Boldy and Marco Rossi.
