Minnesota Wild star Matt Boldy is considered week-to-week with an upper-body injury, general manager Bill Guerin announced Monday, per The Athletic's Michael Russo.
The team doesn't expect that Boldy will need to be placed on long-term injured reserve as a result of the ailment.
Boldy sustained the injury during Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs. He was shaken up after taking a hit from defenseman Morgan Rielly midway through the third period.
The 22-year-old emerged with 31 goals and 63 points in 81 games for the Wild in 2022-23. Boldy is currently playing out the first season of a seven-year, $49-million extension he signed in January.
Boldy has two points in two games so far this season and bagged his first goal of 2023-24 prior to getting hurt Saturday.
The Wild will run with 11 forwards and seven defensemen when they take on the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday, according to the Star Tribune's Sarah McLellan.
