Travis Boyd News

Boyd has yet to score this season but has three assists, nine SOG, two PIMs and a -1 plus/minus in seven games played but will be a healthy scratch Thursday as Jason Zucker (lower body) makes his Coyotes' debut. Boyd is in this seventh NHL season and will hope to be back in the Coyotes' lineup sooner rather than later.

Boyd was a healthy scratch for the Coyotes previous game but will draw back into the lineup Saturday asa. replacement for Josh Brown. The 30-year-old veteran centre has been productive despite his limited minutes (10:23 TOI/GP) as he has three assists, seven SOG and a +2 plus/minus in five games played.

Boyd made his season debut Monday vs. the New York Rangers but will head back to the press box Tuesday as a healthy scratch against the New York Islanders. The 30-year-old forward will be replaced by Michael Carcone on Arizona's fourth line. In his only appearance Monday, he failed to pick up any counting stats across 13 shifts and 9:06 TOI.

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.
