Travis Boyd Looking For Opportunity With the Wild

That's Wild

• Travis Boyd has spent his fair share of time around the NHL. First drafted by the Washington Capitals way back in 2011, the Golden Gopher spent a couple years with his drafted team, then signed with the Toronto Maple Leafs, went to Vancouver, and then ended up being a more consistent player with the Arizona Coyotes. But he has returned home and is looking for a peak opportunity to be a bottom-sixer for John Hynes. [Pioneer Press]
• Another depth player for this season, Zach Bogosian has found his fit with the Wild. [Hockey Wilderness]
• Wild must improve their penalty kill if they want to keep their special teams afloat. [StarTribune]
