But he was injured in that second game, a 7-4 loss at Toronto on Oct. 14.Upon his return from an upper-body injury that sidelined him for seven games, Boldy, like the rest of the Wild, struggled — without a goal and a combined minus-6 with six assists in 10 games. Minnesota was 2-6-2 in those games, and it cost former coach Dean Evason his job.The Wild seem to have found themselves under new coach John Hynes, and that includes Boldy, who has a pair of goals and is a plus-2 in three games headed into Tuesday’s 8 p.m. puck drop against the Flames at the Scotiabank Saddledome.“When things aren’t going well for the team, individually, it’s mentally draining,” Boldy said after Tuesday’s morning skate. “It’s tough, but it’s the best league in the world — you’re going to have times like that. It’s about getting through it. I think I’m just getting ...
