Prospect Report: March 12, 2021

A look at how Minnesota Wild prospects have performed up-to-date this season, from NCAA to international play.
Boston College forward, and 2019 Minnesota Wild first-round pick Matt Boldy was named the Hockey East Co-Player of the Week after a two-goal performance in a 4-2 win over No. 18 Northeastern. The sophomore also tallied his 50th career point in the game.
Marshall Warren, a 2019 Wild draft pick, recorded assists on both of Boldy's goals. It was the sophomore defenseman's second multi-point game on the season.
Boldy leads Boston College, and ranks second in Hockey East, with 24 points on the season.
