Bogosian scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.
Bogosian opened the scoring at 2:22 of the first period. It was his second straight game with a goal, which is a rarity for the bottom-four defenseman. He's already up to four points with 19 shots on net, 14 hits, 15 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 13 contests this season. He's exceeded 10 points in just one of the last five campaigns, so don't expect this burst of offense to last.

Wild's Zach Bogosian: Scores in loss to LA
Rotowire
Bogosian scored a goal in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Kings.
Bogosian found the back of the net for the first time this season, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect consistent production from the veteran defender. This was just his third point of the season, and he doesn't add much in fantasy outside of physicality in some formats. He has 13 hits and 14 blocked shots in his 12 appearances to go along with three points.

Wild's Zach Bogosian: Slings assist in win
Rotowire
Bogosian notched an assist, two hits, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Lightning.
Bogosian is far from a reliable scorer in fantasy -- his helper Thursday was his first point in seven contests this season. The 34-year-old defenseman is steady enough to maintain a second-pairing role, but that's mostly through his work in his own zone. He's picked up 10 shots on net, 10 hits, 10 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating so far. Bogosian can be skipped over in fantasy since he hasn't had a 20-point campaign since 2015-16.

Wild's Zach Bogosian: Set to remian out Saturday
Rotowire
Bogosian (undisclosed) is not expected to play versus Winnipeg on Saturday but will make the trip for Sunday's clash with Chicago, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.
Bogosian remains stuck in a seven-game goal drought during which he's recorded two assists, 10 shots and 14 PIM while averaging 19:40 of ice time. Alex Goligoski figures to get the first crack at additional ice time with Bogosian out of action, though Dakota Mermis could also be an option for an expanded role.

Wild's Zach Bogosian: Unavailable Thursday
Rotowire
Bogosian (undisclosed) won't suit up Thursday versus the Avalanche, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Bogosian will have to miss a game after sustaining the injury versus the Senators on Tuesday. One of Dakota Mermis or Alex Goligoski will go into the lineup to replace Bogosian, who should be considered day-to-day ahead of Saturday's game versus the Jets. That one is the first half of a back-to-back, so it's possible the Wild will take it slow with Bogosian's return.

Wild's Zach Bogosian: Game-time decision Thursday
Rotowire
Bogosian (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision versus Colorado on Thursday, according to Michael Russo of The Athletic.
Bogosian was "banged up" versus Ottawa on Tuesday, leaving his status against the Avalanche in doubt. Bogosian has three goals and 13 points in 59 games this season. Should Bogosian miss out against Colorado, Dakota Mermis will likely enter the lineup on the blue line.

Rotowire
Bogosian (upper body) won't finish Tuesday's game versus the Jets.

Wild's Zach Bogosian: Tacks on assist
Rotowire
Bogosian added an assist in Friday's 3-2 win over the Penguins.
With a goal and eight assists through 35 games, Bogosian -- who started the season with the Lightning before getting dealt -- has been a decent reinforcement option on the blue line in the absence of captain Jared Spurgeon (hip), who will miss the rest of the season. Bogosian should be a recognizable name since he's played for five different NHL franchises over 16 years in the league. He won't get chances on the power play, but his value in fantasy leagues that count hits is high, with 74 in just 39 games between the Bolts and the Wild. He has also been credited with 48 blocked shots this season.
