ST. PAUL – A positive update for the Minnesota Wild who play the Chicago Blackhawks tonight on home ice. Matt Boldy was on the ice with the team for morning skate.

He won’t play tonight, but Wild head coach John Hynes said it is great news that he is back practicing.

Hynes also said that if practices go well throughout the week, Boldy could be back and playing by Friday. Which is the Wild’s last preseason game before the season starts on October 10th.

Nonetheless, it seems like Boldy should be back for the Wild’s home opener which is a big positive for the Wild who have had many injuries to start training camp.
