Returning to Minnesota Bogosian (lower body) signed a one-year, $1.25 million contract with the Wild on Wednesday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Bogosian has spent the past two seasons in Minnesota after being traded to the Wild from the Lightning during the 2023-24 campaign. Across 41 regular-season appearances last year, he recorded two goals, four assists, 47 hits, 37 blocked shots and 18 PIM while averaging 14:33 of ice time. He dealt with a lower-body injury late in the regular season and during the playoffs, and it's not yet clear whether the issue will impact his availability for training camp this fall.

Wild defenseman Zach Bogosian out for Game 5 against Avalanche with lower-body injury

The banged-up Minnesota Wild were without defenseman Zach Bogosian for Game 5 against Colorado on Wednesday night because of a lower-body injury

MAY 14 • Associated Press

Battling lower-body injury Bogosian won't play Wednesday in Game 5 versus the Avalanche due to a lower-body injury.

Impact Bogosian has been battling a lower-body issue since late in the regular season, and it's flared up enough to keep him out of an elimination game. Jeff Petry will replace him in the lineup Wednesday. Bogosian should be considered questionable to play if the Wild force Game 6, which would be played Friday.

MAY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Ready to rock Bogosian (lower body) will play in Game 3 against Colorado on Saturday, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.

Impact After missing Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche in Game 2, Bogosian will replace Jeff Petry in Saturday's lineup. The 35-year-old Bogosian hasn't earned a point in seven outings this postseason, but he has posted two shots on goal, eight blocked shots and eight hits.

MAY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Absent for Tuesday's game Bogosian (lower body) won't suit up Tuesday versus the Avalanche in Game 2.

Impact Bogosian was hampered by a lower-body injury at the end of the regular season, but this is the first playoff contest he'll miss. He has contributed two shots on goal, eight hits, eight blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over seven postseason games. Jeff Petry is slated to take Bogosian's usual spot on the third pairing. Bogosian will be considered day-to-day ahead of Game 3 on Saturday.

MAY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Slated to play in Game 1 Bogosian (lower body) is expected to return to the lineup against Dallas on Saturday in Game 1, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Bogosian sat out the final six games of the regular season due to an injury. However, he should return to the lineup in Minnesota's playoff opener. During the 2025-26 regular season, he provided two goals, six points, 30 shots on net, 37 blocked shots and 47 hits in 41 appearances.

APRIL 18 • ROTOWIRE

Still out after road trip Bogosian (lower body) won't play Tuesday versus the Ducks, Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Bogosian will miss his sixth straight game to end the regular season. Unlike many of the Wild's other absences, Bogosian is still battling an injury. Even when healthy, it's unclear if he'll unseat Jeff Petry for a third-pairing job in the playoffs.

APRIL 14 • ROTOWIRE

Not traveling with team Bogosian (lower body) will miss Thursday's game in Dallas and isn't traveling with the Wild.

Impact Bogosian will probably also be absent from Saturday's tilt in Nashville and Monday's clash in St. Louis. The Wild will return home for their regular-season finale Tuesday versus Anaheim, which might be an opportunity for Bogosian to get into a game before the playoffs. The 35-year-old defenseman has two goals, six points, 18 PIM, 47 hits and 37 blocks in 41 outings in 2025-26.

APRIL 9 • ROTOWIRE

Sidelined for Tuesday's game Bogosian (lower body) will not suit up at home versus Seattle on Tuesday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Jeff Petry will remain in the lineup Tuesday as a result of Bogosian's absence. The 35-year-old Bogosian's next chance to play will be in a likely preview of a first-round playoff series against the Stars on Thursday.

APRIL 7 • ROTOWIRE

Out Sunday Bogosian (lower body) won't play Sunday against the Red Wings, the team announced.

Impact He is officially day-to-day with the injury sustained Saturday against the Senators. The 35-year-old has two goals and four assists in 41 games on the season. In his absence, Jeff Petry will draw into the lineup in his place and will play on the third pair with Jake Middleton. Bogosian's next chance for a return will be Tuesday against the Kraken.

APRIL 5 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable Sunday Bogosian (undisclosed) left Saturday's game against the Senators early and is questionable for Sunday's game against the Red Wings, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.

Impact Bogosian was presumably injured Saturday while going into the board awkwardly after missing a hit. The 35-year-old didn't finish the game as a result. He has six points (two goals, four assists) in 41 games this season. If he can't go Sunday against the Red Wings, expect Jeff Petry or Daemon Hunt to draw into the lineup.

Rare goal in win Bogosian scored a goal and added two PIM in Friday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights.

Impact Bogosian's second goal of the season came at 8:07 of the second period, the middle tally of a three-goal burst in 3:07 for the Wild. The 35-year-old defenseman is filling a third-pairing role currently, and he may rotate out of the lineup occasionally if the Wild want to get a look at trade acquisition Jeff Petry. Bogosian is up to two goals, six points, 23 shots on net, 26 hits, 27 blocked shots and 12 PIM through 30 appearances this season, so he's not much of a factor for fantasy managers.

Nabs helper Wednesday Bogosian logged an assist in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Predators.

Impact This was Bogosian's second game back after missing 13 due to a lower-body injury. The 35-year-old should hold onto a third-pairing role as long as he can stay healthy, which has been a challenge. He's now at five points, 21 shots on net, 21 hits, 23 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating through 25 appearances this season.

Taken off injured reserve Bogosian (lower body) was activated off injured reserve ahead of Monday's matchup with Montreal, per the NHL media site.

Impact Bogosian was originally classified as a game-time call, but his activation off IR clears the way for him to get into the lineup. With the veteran blueliner back, David Jiricek will likely be relegated to a spot in the press box, while Matt Kiersted would be a candidate for a demotion to the minors.

FEBRUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Remains unavailable Bogosian (undisclosed) isn't ready to return to the lineup yet, according to Joe Smith of The Athletic on Saturday.

Impact Bogosian remains on injured reserve and will miss his ninth straight game. He has provided one goal, three assists, 20 shots on net, 20 blocked shots and 20 hits across 23 appearances this season. It's unclear when he will be ready to return, but he appears to be getting close.

Expected back during road trip Head coach John Hynes said Thursday that he anticipates that Bogosian (undisclosed) will be able to return at some point during the Wild's upcoming three-game road trip, Michael Ru...

Impact Bogosian has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Jets, but his return appears to be imminent. Minnesota's upcoming road trip begins Saturday in Buffalo and runs through Tuesday in Montreal, and while it's not yet clear whether he'll be available for all three road matchups, his absence will likely come to an end after approximately two weeks. Over his three appearances leading up to his absence, he recorded two assists, two hits and two PIM while averaging 14:48 of ice time.

Moves to IR Bogosian (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Bogosian will miss his third straight game against the Islanders on Saturday, and it's unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup. He has contributed one goal, three assists, 20 shots on net, 20 blocked shots and 20 hits across 23 appearances this season.

JANUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable for Thursday Bogosian (undisclosed) returned to Minnesota on Wednesday, so he won't play Thursday in Seattle, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.

Impact Bogosian also missed Monday's 4-2 loss to the Kings. He has a goal and four points in 23 appearances in 2025-26. The 35-year-old might still be an option for the Wild's home game against the Islanders on Saturday.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out against Kings Bogosian will not be in the lineup versus Los Angeles on Monday due to an undisclosed injury, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Bogosian has already missed 20 games this season due to injury, and now he faces another stint on the shelf. Until the Wild provide a more concrete timeline, fantasy managers will have to assume the New York native is day-to-day for now. Even when healthy, Bogosian shouldn't be expected to offer much in terms of offensive upside, as he has generated just four points in 23 appearances this year.
