Marcus Foligno and Matt Dumba will not play against the Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday (9:30 p.m. ET; TNT, TVAS, NHL LIVE).
Foligno, a forward, will miss his second game with an upper-body injury sustained Jan. 28 crashing into the boards in a 3-2 win at the New York Rangers.
Dumba, a defenseman, is out with an upper-body injury. He had two assists in a 4-3 win at New York Islanders on Sunday.
Each is day to day.
"(Foligno) probably could [play] tomorrow if push comes to shove, with [his] attitude, but we're going to be extra cautious and keep him out of tomorrow night's game," Wild coach Dean Evason said Tuesday. "Obviously both are very big pieces for us, but we want to try and do the right thing and get them 100 percent. With the (All-Star) break coming, we can hopefully get to that point."
Defenseman Jon Merrill and forward Nico Sturm were cleared from NHL COVID-19 protocol and will play.
Matt Boldy will remain with the Wild for the rest of the season, general manager Bill Guerin said Monday.
The 20-year-old forward scored nine points (four goals, five assists) in his first nine NHL games, tying Ryan Donato for the Wild record for most after nine games. Minnesota is 8-0-1 since Boldy scored in his NHL debut that helped end a 0-4-1 slide with a 3-2 win at the Boston Bruins on Jan. 6.
"Matt's here to stay," Guerin said. "He's been told that, and he's earned his way on the team, and he's played real well for us. He's done the right things. He's a really good kid. He's a good teammate." -- Jessi Pierce
