Matt Boldy practicing, may play this weekend with Iowa

Minnesota Wild head coach had some good news for the assembled reporters at Xcel Energy Center prior to tonight’s game: first-round prospect Matt Boldy could make his regular season debut with the Iowa Wild as soon as this weekend, returning six weeks after sustaining a lower-body injury in the preseason.

Ladies and gentleman of the Minnesota Wild fandom... it’s happening. Maybe.

At least, that’s what Evason said he was told.

Evason said Matt Boldy has been skating in Iowa and believes he could play in this weekend’s games with Iowa (that’s what Dean has been told) #mnwild

Boldy has spent the last week or so in Des Moines practicing in a non-contact jersey, but this week he’ll be donning the regular full-contact garb.
