Maple Leafs' Travis Boyd: Erupts for four points in AHL win
Rotowire
Boyd scored twice and added two assists in AHL Toronto's 5-2 win over Hershey on Friday.
Boyd was once with Hershey while in the Capitals' organization, so this might have been a bit of a revenge game for the veteran forward. He's up to seven goals and four assists over nine outings in 2025-26. Boyd is playing well with the Marlies, but his path to the NHL is closed unless the Maple Leafs need to replenish their bottom-six forward depth at some point down the line.

Rotowire
Boyd scored twice in AHL Toronto's 4-1 win over Rochester on Saturday.
This was Boyd's debut for the Marlies. The 32-year-old failed to make the Maple Leafs' Opening Night roster but is one of the more experienced forward options in the Toronto system. Last season, he posted 53 points in 63 games for AHL Iowa, reaching the 50-point mark for the third time in an AHL campaign in his career.

Wild's Travis Boyd: Highlights Black Aces
Rotowire
Boyd was recalled from AHL Iowa on Monday along with forwards Brendan Gaunce, Hunter Haight, Ben Jones and Liam Ohgren, defensemen Cameron Crotty and Carson Lambos, and netminder Samuel Hlavaj.
Boyd was one of eight players to form the Wild's Black Aces promotions after AHL Iowa failed to qualify for the Calder Cup Playoffs. The 31-year-old Boyd logged just three NHL games for the Wild this season in which he failed to register a point or a shot on goal.

Wild's Travis Boyd: Reassigned to AHL Iowa
Rotowire
Boyd was sent back to the minors Tuesday.
Boyd's demotion leaves the Wild without any extra healthy forwards ahead of Tuesday's matchup with St. Louis, but the team likely is trying to accrue some cap savings when possible. The 31-year-old Boyd has logged just three games for Minnesota this season in which he generated three blocks and one hit while averaging a career-low 7:48 of ice time.

Wild's Travis Boyd: Recalled by Minnesota
Rotowire
Boyd was recalled from AHL Iowa on Monday.
Boyd has had several brief stints with the NHL club earlier this year, and he was held pointless with three blocked shots and a hit while averaging 7:48 of ice time over three appearances. He'll rejoin the Wild since the team is dealing with multiple absences, but it's unlikely that he'll have a significant role during his time with Minnesota.

Rotowire
Boyd was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Sunday.
Boyd's reassignment would seem to indicate that either Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body) or Yakov Trenin (upper body) will be available for Monday's contest against Chicago. Boyd's appeared in three games with Minnesota this season, averaging 7:48 of ice time while failing to record a point.

Wild's Travis Boyd: Recalled from AHL
Rotowire
Boyd was called up from AHL Iowa on Friday, according to Michael Russo of The Athletic.
Boyd has logged three goals and 18 points over 17 AHL games this year. The center got hot after he was sent down Dec. 8, with a goal and six assists across four games with Iowa. Boyd has not had any success offensively at the NHL level in two games this season. He could join the Minnesota lineup on the fourth line after Yakov Trenin was placed on injured reserve with an upper-body injury Thursday.

Wild's Travis Boyd: Recalled Wednesday
Rotowire
Boyd was called up from AHL Iowa on Wednesday.
Boyd could get to play during this stint in the NHL, as Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body) is considered week-to-week. If Boyd suits up, he'll likely fill a bottom-six role. He has one hit and two blocked shots over two appearances this season.

Wild's Travis Boyd: Up from AHL
Rotowire
The Wild recalled Boyd from AHL Iowa under emergency conditions Friday.
Boyd has two goals and 11 points in 13 appearances with Iowa in 2024-25. He hasn't played for Minnesota yet, but the 31-year-old does have 47 goals and 118 points across 296 career NHL regular-season outings. Since he's with the team under emergency conditions, he won't be able to play unless a questionable forward is unable to suit up. If he draws into the lineup Saturday versus Calgary, it will likely be as a part of the bottom six.

Wild's Travis Boyd: Playing summer hockey
Rotowire
Boyd (pectoral) has played in three games in Da Beauty League this summer, racking up one goal and three assists.
Boyd's participation in the summer league, which features several NHL stars, should be a good indication that his pectoral injury is behind him. After logging just 16 games with the Coyotes last season, the Minnesota native signed a one-year, two-way deal with the Wild this offseason. If he can secure his place on the Opening Night roster, Boyd should be capable of getting back over the 30-point threshold, a mark he hit in each of his first two seasons in Arizona.

Coyotes' Travis Boyd: Set to miss remainder of season
Rotowire
Boyd -- who sustained a torn pectoral muscle -- is expected to be sidelined for the rest of the 2023-24 campaign, Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports reports Monday.
Boyd was on track for another solid season after putting up eight points through the first 16 contests of the year. In fact, Boyd seemed to be a lock to reach the 30-point threshold for the third consecutive campaign and might have even set a new personal best. Instead, the pending unrestricted free agent could have played his last game in the desert.

Coyotes' Travis Boyd: Out multiple weeks
Rotowire
Boyd will be out week-to-week with an upper-body injury, Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports reports.
Boyd suffered the injury after taking a hit from Josh Manson in Thursday's win over Colorado. It's a tough break for the 30-year-old Boyd, who had goals in back-to-back games, giving him eight points (two goals, six assists) on the season. Ryan McGregor was recalled from AHL Tucson on Saturday and will likely get the first crack as the Coyotes' fourth-line center in Boyd's absence.

Coyotes' Travis Boyd: Scores again Thursday
Rotowire
Boyd scored a goal in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Avalanche.
This was Boyd's second straight game with a goal. He hadn't scored over his first 14 contests of the season, though playing in a bottom-six role hasn't exactly been a source of productivity for the 30-year-old center. Overall, he's earned eight points, 12 shots on net, 10 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating while splitting time between center and wing depending on the Coyotes' needs.
