Minnesota loses Skjei, Boyd to lower-body injuries

According to the Star Tribune in Minnesota, Gophers’ junior defenseman Brady Skjei and senior forward Travis Boyd were both injured during last weekend’s games with St. Cloud State.

Skjei will miss “at least a few weeks” with a lower-body injury suffered last Saturday, while Boyd has a lower-body injury from last Friday night that will see him miss “about a month.”

Minnesota coach Don Lucia discussed both injuries on his weekly radio show Monday night on ESPN Radio.

The injuries were also reported in USCHO.com’s game recap from last Saturday night.
