Now in his fifth NHL season, Matt Boldy has become an invaluable top-six forward with the Minnesota Wild. Chosen 12th overall in the 2019 NHL Draft, he’s steadily developed into a reliable scoring right winger.
Often overshadowed by superstar teammate Kirill Kaprizov, Boldy has steadily improved with each season. After netting 39 points in 47 games in his 2021-22 rookie campaign, he netted 63 points in 2023-24, 69 points in 2024-25, and 73 points last season.
That effort earned Boldy a spot on Team USA in last year’s 4 Nations Face-Off, netting three points in four games. He also played for Team USA’s gold-medal team in the 2021 World Junior Championship and in the 2022 and 2024 World Championships.
Now 24, Boldy sits second among Wild scorers this season with 58 points in 53 games. Given his offensive skills, he is projected to skate on Team USA’s second line alongside center Auston Matthews and winger Jake Guentzel.
