Boldy's established shooting volume and shared even-strength and power-play deployment provide enough repeat opportunities to reach four recorded shots.
65 SOG · 15 GAMES · 9 FOUR-SHOT GAMES — Boldy recorded 65 shots in 15 games and reached four shots in nine of them. That repeat volume gives him a route to the required count without needing a goal or an unusually efficient finishing night.
TOP LINE · PP1 · 21.7 MIN EXPECTED — Boldy is projected alongside Kaprizov and Eriksson Ek and on Minnesota's first power-play unit. The expected 21.7-minute workload combines regular attacking possessions with additional chances against a penalty kill.
Washington can keep attempts outside or block them before they reach the net. A penalty-light game removes some of the extra shooting opportunities, while a comfortable Minnesota lead can reduce late attacking urgency.
Settlement Rule: CASHES MATT BOLDY OVER 3.5 SHOTS ON GOAL WITH AT LEAST 4 RECORDED SHOTS; NO PUSH ON THE HALF.

Boldy's established shooting volume and shared even-strength and power-play deployment provide enough repeat opportunities to reach four recorded shots.
Counter-Case: Washington can keep attempts outside or block them before they reach the net. A penalty-light game removes some of the extra shooting opportunities, while a comfortable Minnesota lead can reduce late attacking urgency.
Boldy's concentrated shot volume and top-unit deployment provide enough routes to three shots despite a restrictive opponent.
Counter-Case: Utah can deny clean entries and turn Boldy's attempts into blocks or misses. An early Minnesota lead could reduce his late attacking opportunities even if the offense finishes efficiently.
Boldy’s sustained shooting volume and first-unit power-play role give him multiple routes to four shots on goal.
Counter-Case: Vancouver can steer Boldy toward blocked attempts or finishes that miss the net. Heavy legs on the second consecutive night could shorten his attacking shifts, while early goals from teammates could reduce the need for sustained pressure.
