Wild's Matthew Boldy: Expected to play Thursday

Boldy (upper body) is set to return Thursday versus New Jersey, per Sarah McLellan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

Boldy missed the Wild's last seven contests due to the injury. Before getting hurt, he was off to a strong start with a goal and an assist in two games. Now that he's back, Boldy should serve in a top-six capacity and get power-play ice time.
