Secures assist in win Foligno posted an assist, four shots on goal and two hits in Friday's 5-1 win over the Ducks.

Impact Foligno has three helpers, eight shots on net and 13 hits over his last four contests. That's come with a slightly larger role on the Wild's second line, something that's likely to last while both Mats Zuccarello (lower body) and Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body) are out. Foligno is now at 10 points, 21 shots on net, 93 hits, 13 PIM and a plus-9 rating through 26 outings overall, giving him some fantasy appeal in formats that reward his heavy play.

Chips in with assist Foligno registered an assist in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.

Impact Foligno snapped a four-game point drought with the helper. The 33-year-old winger is playing in a bottom-six role, so offense is unlikely to be steady for him throughout the campaign. He has two goals, two assists, four shots on net, 47 hits, four PIM and a plus-2 rating over 13 appearances.

Earns two goals Saturday Foligno collected two goals on three shots while adding two blocked shots and three hits in Saturday's 7-5 loss to Philadelphia.

Impact Foligno tied the game at 2-2 in the second period and gave the Wild a brief 4-3 lead at the 2:18 mark of the third period. He had one assist in seven appearances going into Saturday's matchup.

OCTOBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Produces assist Saturday Foligno recorded an assist in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact Foligno earned his first point of the year with a secondary assist on Marco Rossi's first-period tally. While Foligno hasn't done much scoring from the third line, he has 14 hits over five games, though he didn't throw a check Saturday. The winger also has two PIM, two blocked shots and a minus-1 rating. He's topped the 30-point mark just once in his career -- a 42-point season in 2021-22 -- so there's not much reason to think a scoring binge is coming for the 33-year-old.

OCTOBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Skating at camp Foligno (abdomen) has been skating at training camp, though he won't play Saturday's preseason opener versus the Jets.

Impact Foligno is not listed among the Wild's injured players, so it's safe to assume he has recovered from the core muscle surgery he underwent in April. The 33-year-old was limited to 22 points in 55 games last season, but he added 179 hits. Foligno will provide depth scoring and grit in a bottom-six role in 2024-25.

Undergoes core muscle surgery Foligno (abdomen) underwent core muscle surgery Tuesday and will miss the remainder of the season.

Impact Foligno is expected to make a full recovery in time for training camp. The winger officially ends the 2023-24 campaign with 10 goals, 12 assists, 179 hits, 59 PIM and 56 shots on net through 55 appearances. Foligno signed a four-year contract extension before the season started, so it's safe to assume he'll return to a bottom-six role for the Wild in 2024-25.

APRIL 2 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to undergo surgery Foligno is expected to be shut down for the season and undergo surgery to address his lower-body injury, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Wild appear to be too far adrift of a playoff spot to justify Foligno ramping back up. The winger will end the campaign with 22 points and 179 hits over 55 contests. It's unclear if he will be ready for training camp, as the details of the surgery have yet to be revealed.

Game-time call for Saturday Foligno (lower body) is questionable heading into Saturday's matchup with Vegas, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.

Dealing with lingering injury Foligno is dealing with a lingering lower-body injury and won't play Thursday versus the Sharks, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Ruled out Thursday Foligno (lower body) will not be in the lineup to face the Coyotes on Thursday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Impact With a back-to-back on the schedule, Foligno could struggle to get into the lineup versus Colorado on Friday, though he hasn't been officially ruled out. With Brandon Duhaime headed to the Avs, youngster Adam Beckman will see additional minutes for the Wild on Thursday. Once given the all-clear, Foligno should stake his claim for a top-six role.

MARCH 7 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Thursday Foligno (lower body) will travel with the Wild to Arizona and might return for Thursday's game versus the Coyotes, per Jessi Pierce of NHL.com.

Impact Foligno, who last played Feb. 9, has nine goals, 20 points, 52 PIM and 163 hits in 47 contests this season. If he's able to return Thursday, then Foligno will likely serve in a bottom-six capacity while Mason Shaw might be a healthy scratch.

MARCH 6 • ROTOWIRE

Moves to IR Foligno (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Monday.

Impact In a corresponding move, Connor Dewar (lower body) was activated from the IR list. Foligno was already expected to miss Minnesota's next two games, so his placement on injured reserve won't impact his timetable. He has nine goals, 20 points and 52 PIM in 47 games this season.

FEBRUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with lower-body injury Foligno (lower body) is expected to miss at least the next two games, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Foligno, who didn't practice Sunday, is poised to sit out Monday's contest against Vegas and Wednesday's matchup versus Arizona. He has notched nine goals and 20 points in 47 games this season. Connor Dewar (lower body) may replace Foligno in the lineup Monday. Minnesota also summoned Adam Beckman from AHL Iowa on Sunday to serve as an extra forward during the team's two-game road trip.

FEBRUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in return Foligno scored a goal on two shots, added nine PIM, logged three hits and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Foligno was not initially expected to play Wednesday, but he was in the lineup and noticeable on the ice. He was responsible for all of the Wild's penalties in the game, but he atoned for that with the game-winning goal midway through the third period. The winger is up to 20 points, 49 shots on net, 132 hits, 52 PIM, 32 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating through 46 appearances this season.
