Boldy suffered an upper-body injury vs. the Penguins on Thursday and will not play on Saturday. He is on the road trip and has not officially been ruled out for Sunday's game, but it seems unlikely that he will play. Nick Bjugstad will likely draw into the lineup in Carolina.
Merrill will be replaced by Dmitry Kulikov on the Wild blueline on Saturday, as the Wild will likely continue to shuffle defensemen around after adding Jacob Middleton at the trade deadline.
Middleton missed Wednesday's practice but is feeling better and could play on Thursday. Monitor his status as the Sharks hit the ice for warmups at 10:00 PM ET.
Bogosian has been out since January 15th due to a lower-body injury but will suit up against his former team on Tuesday. The 31-year-old has scored two goals with four assists (six points) in 23 games this season.
