2 weeks agoMinnesota Wild left wing Marcus Foligno (upper body) will remain sidelined on Wednesday evening when the Wild face the Seattle Kraken. Foligno was unable to play during their previous contest due to this injury. He will look to return to the lineup on Saturday when the Wild face the Buffalo Sabres. As a result, Brendan Gaunce will likely remain in the starting lineup and play on the fourth offensive line. Before his injury, Foligno was in the midst of a 10-game scoreless streak. During this stretch, Foligno has logged 37 hits with nine blocks and nine shots on goal. Through 67 total contests this season, the 33-year-old has found the back of the net 11 times and added 11 helpers with an eye-catching 219 hits. When Foligno is cleared to return, he will be a top option for hits in category formats.

With Minnesota unlikely to make the playoffs, the team has now decided to shut Foligno down. The 32-year-old ends the campaign with 22 points (10 goals, 12 assists) and 179 hits. Health issues limited him to only 55 appearances. Foligno is coming off a three-year, $9.3 million deal and will be an unrestricted free agent in the offseason.

1 year agoMinnesota Wild winger Marcus Foligno (lower body) will suit up for Monday's matchup against the Stars. He will return from a three-game absence. Foligno will try to add to six goals and nine assists on Monday, which he has totaled in 35 games this season. His return means an exit from the lineup for Nic Petan. Foligno, who also boasts 93 hits for the season, will add muscle for Minnesota in the inter-division matchup and should boost the offense as well, having scored in three of his last four appearances. He will skate with Frederick Gaudreau and Pat Maroon on the third line.
