They just dropped the top-20 wingers in the NHL list.
No surprise that Nikita Kucherov was number one for the second year in a row. Among the list, four of them were not ranked last year. Matt Boldy is one of those four.
Boldy, 24, recorded 27 goals during the 2024-25 season and played in all 82 games. He recorded career-highs in assists with 46, points with 73 and game-winning goals with ten.
In all six playoff games for the Wild, Boldy recorded five goals and seven points. He had one game-winning goal in the series as well.
His impressive playoff performance and a great regular season has put him among some of the best wingers in the NHL.
We will see what Boldy has in store for the 2025-26 season and if he can jump a little higher on the list next season.
