NHL.com fantasy rank: 10
Boldy set NHL career highs in goals (42 in 76 games; tied for ninth in NHL), points (85), power-play goals (11), power-play points (30), short-handed goals (four; tied for second in NHL) and ice time (20:34 per game) last season. The 25-year-old, who was tied for fourth in wrist shot goals (23) last season, has at least 25 goals, 20 power-play points and 225 shots on goal in four straight seasons and is one of three players to have at least 120 goals (129), 1,000 shots on goal (1,007), 200 hits (210) and 180 blocked shots (185) since 2022-23 (others: Nathan MacKinnon, Auston Matthews). Boldy, who is tied with Kaprizov for the team lead in game-winning goals (20; tied for 10th in NHL) since 2023-24, has the potential to score 50 goals if he plays with Kaprizov at 5-on-5 and has a full season with defenseman Quinn Hughes. Boldy should be considered in the first two rounds of standard fantasy drafts, especially in leagues with shots on goal and power-play points.
