The Wild is finally playing a new opponent after last season s virus-forced realignment. Winnipeg is 0-2 and will be without former Gophers and Breck School star Blake Wheeler.

Matt Boldy skated with the Wild Wednesday morning, and he could be back on the ice inside Xcel Energy Center Wednesday night to make his NHL debut in Game 6 against the Golden Knights.
Coach Dean Evason said the Wild has some game-time decisions to make and Boldy is available to us if we see fit to put him in. The only forwards who didn t participate in the Wild s optional morning skate before Game 6 were Marcus Foligno and Nick Bonino, although those two don t usually skate in optional sessions.
Boldy had six goals and 12 assists in 14 games with Iowa in the American Hockey League, where Boldy began his pro career after leaving Boston College in March to sign an entry-level contract with the Wild. The forward was drafted 12th overall by the Wild in 2019.
