Erupts for four points in AHL win Boyd scored twice and added two assists in AHL Toronto's 5-2 win over Hershey on Friday.

Impact Boyd was once with Hershey while in the Capitals' organization, so this might have been a bit of a revenge game for the veteran forward. He's up to seven goals and four assists over nine outings in 2025-26. Boyd is playing well with the Marlies, but his path to the NHL is closed unless the Maple Leafs need to replenish their bottom-six forward depth at some point down the line.

Playing summer hockey Boyd (pectoral) has played in three games in Da Beauty League this summer, racking up one goal and three assists.

Impact Boyd's participation in the summer league, which features several NHL stars, should be a good indication that his pectoral injury is behind him. After logging just 16 games with the Coyotes last season, the Minnesota native signed a one-year, two-way deal with the Wild this offseason. If he can secure his place on the Opening Night roster, Boyd should be capable of getting back over the 30-point threshold, a mark he hit in his first two seasons in Arizona.

How healthy Boyd is come training camp will likely determine whether he makes the Opening Night roster.
