Boyd will play his first game of the season after being a healthy scratch for the Coyotes in their season opener on Friday. Last season, Boyd scored 34 points (15G / 19A) in 82 games while playing an average of 16:32 per game. He is expected to slot in on the fourth line alongside Liam O'Brien and Jack McBain.
Boyd had 15 goals, 19 assists, 94 SOG, 26 PIMs and a -32 plus/minus through 82 games played with Arizona in 2022-23 but will be a healthy scratch for their season opener vs. New Jersey. It comes as a bit of a surprise after Boyd finished sixth in team scoring last season but he will be replaced by Jack McBain. Boyd is entering his sixth NHL season and has 45 goals and 110 points in 280 career games played.
Boyd bounced around the NHL a bit in his first four seasons (three teams) but seems to have found a home with the Coyotes. Boyd, who has played in the top-6 for most of the season has already set career-highs in goals (10), assists (14) and points (24) through 46 games.
Boyd will come out of the Coyotes lineup in San Jose and how this changes their lines is anybody's guess. Expect Johan Larsson to move up into the top-6 with Boyd out.
Boyd has had a decent season as a Maple Leafs' depth piece, scoring three goals with five assists (eight points) in 20 games. The 27-year-old will help bolster the Canucks' bottom-6.
Boyd was a healthy scratch on Thursday but will replace Kenny Agostino in the lineup on Saturday. Boyd has three goals and five assists (eight points) in 18 games this season.
Boyd appeared in 85 NHL games with the Capitals since 2018 but will make his Maple Leafs debut in Calgary. The 27-year-old will replace Jason Spezza in the lineup and skate on the Maple Leafs fourth line.
Boyd will replace Lars Eller, who left the bubble to be with his wife for the birth of their second child and is expected to centre the third line. Boyd had three goals and seven assists (10 points) in 24 regular-season games.
Washington played with 11 forwards on Friday but Boyd comes up to dress as the 12th forward on Saturday. He has split his time between the NHL and AHL, totalling four assists in six games with the Capitals and six points (4G / 2A) in four games with the Bears. Tyler Lewington went down to Hershey to make room for Boyd.
Boyd has missed the first 12 games of the season, but is set to make his season debut vs. the Oilers. The 25-year-old had one assist in eight games with the Capitals last season and one assist in two games with Hershey (AHL) during his conditioning stint. He will replace Nic Dowd on the Capitals’ fourth line.
Boyd has been sent down because the Capitals have signed Shane Gersich and he will join the team on the road. Boyd had one assist in seven games with the Capitals but returns to Hershey where he has 15 goals and 29 assists (44 points) in 56 games.
Boyd, 24, has picked up 15 goals and 29 assists (44 points) in 56 games—good for second on the Bears. Boyd did not pick up a point in two games with the Capitals earlier this season, but the former sixth round pick could get into the Capitals lineup on Tuesday.
Boyd has been recalled to serve as an extra forward in case something happens to one of the Capitals regular forwards prior to Friday’s game in Carolina. Boyd has 27 points (8G / 19A) in 37 games with the Capitals this season.
