Boldy Torches Stars, Wild Rout Opener

Matt Boldy channels that inner beast the Wild have been waiting for, dismantling the Stars in a series-opening clinic that echoes through the Central Division. Minnesota's forecheck turns Dallas' blue line into Swiss cheese, with Boldy pulling strings like he's been snubbing GMs since his draft day. This blowout shifts the series momentum hard, forcing Stars coach Pete DeBoer to rethink everything before Game 2 in St. Paul.
