Matt Boldy, after injury sank his preseason, busts loose in Minnesota Wild’s opening victory over Columbus
Boldy led the Wild to a season-opening, 3-2 victory over the Blue Jackets on Thursday night at Xcel Energy Center by scoring the first goal, assisting on the next and then setting up the game-winner from Mats Zuccarello — this after Boldy was shelved early in training camp with an injury and missed all six of the team’s preseason tune-ups.
