Wild prospect Matthew Boldy out four to six weeks with fractured ankle

Minnesota Wild prospect Matthew Boldy will be out for four to six weeks after fracturing his left ankle in a pre-season contest against the Chicago Blackhawks.

The incident occurred when Boldy, a roster hopeful for the Wild, got his leg tangled up with Blackhawks defenceman Connor Murphy on Thursday.

The 20-year-old was selected 12th overall by Minnesota in 2019 and represented the United States at the 2021 World Juniors, where he produced seven points in seven games.
