Boyd was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Monday.
After being summoned from the minors, Boyd was a healthy scratch in Sunday's 2-1 overtime loss to Winnipeg. With Joel Eriksson Ek (nose) expected to return Tuesday versus the Blues, Boyd's presence on the roster is no longer necessary.

Wild's Travis Boyd: Playing summer hockey
Rotowire
Boyd (pectoral) has played in three games in Da Beauty League this summer, racking up one goal and three assists.
Boyd's participation in the summer league, which features several NHL stars, should be a good indication that his pectoral injury is behind him. After logging just 16 games with the Coyotes last season, the Minnesota native signed a one-year, two-way deal with the Wild this offseason. If he can secure his place on the Opening Night roster, Boyd should be capable of getting back over the 30-point threshold, a mark he hit in each of his first two seasons in Arizona.

Wild's Travis Boyd: Signs two-way deal
Rotowire
Boyd (pectoral) penned a one-year, two-way contract with Minnesota on Monday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Boyd played in just 16 games for the Coyotes last season in which he tallied two goals, six assists and 12 shots on net while averaging a mere 9:37 of ice time. Based on his two-way deal, it seems the Wild may view Boyd as more of a veteran presence for their minor-league club -- though he does have a pair of 30-point seasons under his belt. How healthy Boyd is come training camp will likely determine whether he makes the Opening Night roster, and he's unlikely to see more than a bottom-six role.

Coyotes' Travis Boyd: Set to miss remainder of season
Rotowire
Boyd -- who sustained a torn pectoral muscle -- is expected to be sidelined for the rest of the 2023-24 campaign, Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports reports Monday.
Boyd was on track for another solid season after putting up eight points through the first 16 contests of the year. In fact, Boyd seemed to be a lock to reach the 30-point threshold for the third consecutive campaign and might have even set a new personal best. Instead, the pending unrestricted free agent could have played his last game in the desert.

Coyotes' Travis Boyd: Out multiple weeks
Rotowire
Boyd will be out week-to-week with an upper-body injury, Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports reports.
Boyd suffered the injury after taking a hit from Josh Manson in Thursday's win over Colorado. It's a tough break for the 30-year-old Boyd, who had goals in back-to-back games, giving him eight points (two goals, six assists) on the season. Ryan McGregor was recalled from AHL Tucson on Saturday and will likely get the first crack as the Coyotes' fourth-line center in Boyd's absence.

Rotowire
Boyd scored a goal in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Avalanche.
This was Boyd's second straight game with a goal.

Overall, he's earned eight points, 12 shots on net, 10 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating while splitting time between center and wing depending on the Coyotes' needs.

Boyd got the promotion to the top line with Barrett Hayton (upper body) landing on injured reserve.

Rotowire
Boyd posted an assist in Saturday's 7-5 win over the Predators.
Boyd was in the lineup with Jack McBain (lower body) out on a week-to-week basis.

Coyotes' Travis Boyd: Lands on waivers

The move comes as somewhat of a surprise, as Boyd seemed lined up for a bottom-six role in Arizona after tallying 15 goals and 34 points while playing in all 82 games last season. If he clears waivers, Boyd will start the campaign with AHL Tucson, where he'll likely be one of the first callups in the event of injury.
