NICK FOLIGNO NEWS

Lights lamp on power play Foligno scored a power-play goal on four shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.

Impact Foligno has scored in back-to-back games and now has three tallies through five contests overall. The winger finished off a passing play with his usual linemates Teuvo Teravainen and Connor Bedard. Foligno has added 13 shots on net, 19 hits and four PIM this season, but if he can stay on the top line and first power-play unit, he'll have some general appeal in fantasy. If he loses those gigs, his interest would be limited to deeper formats that reward his toughness.

Scores second goal Foligno scored a goal on three shots, logged two hits and added two PIM in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Flames.

Impact Foligno scored for the second time in four games this season. He's been a wrecking ball with multiple hits in each contest so far, racking up a total of 18 hits with nine shots on net. He was on the third line in the season opener, but it didn't take long for head coach Luke Richardson to move Foligno up alongside Connor Bedard after a lackluster showing from Ilya Mikheyev early on. Foligno will carry some fantasy value as long as he's on the top line.

Buries goal in season opener Foligno scored a goal on two shots and added six hits in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to Utah.

Impact Foligno got a piece of an Alex Vlasic shot to bring the Blackhawks within a goal early in the third period. Last season, Foligno matched his highest goal total in the last seven years with 17 tallies and added 20 assists, 192 hits and 57 PIM across 74 contests in his first year with the Blackhawks. The 36-year-old averaged 17:46 of ice time per game in 2023-24, but he saw just 13:54 in Tuesday's loss, indicating a significantly smaller middle-six role ahead in 2024-25. As such, don't expect the veteran winger to match his output from last year.

Impact Foligno didn't play Wednesday while attending to a personal matter but was back on the ice ahead of Friday's matchup.

Impact A Philipp Kurashev pass banked into the net after a deflection off Foligno's leg. The goal was Foligno's first in six games, though he also had a four-assist effort in that span. The 36-year-old forward continues to see top-six minutes for the Blackhawks, which has allowed him to produce solid offense. He's up to 16 goals, 34 points (14 on the power play), 126 shots on net, 161 hits, 53 PIM and a minus-22 rating through 62 appearances.

MARCH 20 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Foligno added three shots on goal and two PIM, but he also took a minus-2 rating. The winger had gone three contests without a point entering Tuesday, his longest drought since January. The 36-year-old is up to 29 points (11 on the power play) with 114 shots on net, 149 hits, 49 PIM and a minus-19 rating through 56 appearances. Foligno has bounced around the lineup lately, but he's worth a look as a streaming option when he plays on the top line.

MARCH 6 • ROTOWIRE

Garners helper Foligno recorded an assist, three shots on goal, four hits and a minus-2 rating in Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Jets.

Impact Foligno saw a six-game point streak end Wednesday versus the Flyers, but he got right back at it Friday. The winger set up Tyler Johnson's game-tying tally late in the third period. Foligno has 26 points, 103 shots on net, 134 hits and a minus-12 rating through 51 outings. He'll continue to be an intriguing depth option in fantasy as long as he's on the Blackhawks' top line.

FEBRUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Earns two points in loss Foligno scored a goal, dished a power-play assist and added three hits in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact Foligno continues to hold down a top-line role and a spot on the first power-play unit, and he was able to contribute in both of those roles Monday. He got the Blackhawks on the board in the second period and assisted on a Tyler Johnson tally in the third. Foligno has four goals and three assists during his six-game point streak, a surge that has him up to 25 points, 100 shots on net, 118 hits and a minus-9 rating through 49 contests overall.

FEBRUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Records assist Thursday Foligno posted an assist and went minus-2 in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Penguins.

Impact Foligno extended his point streak to four games (two goals, two assists) with the secondary helper on Philipp Kurashev's tally. The 36-year-old Foligno remained on the top line with Connor Bedard returning from a broken jaw. Foligno has some fantasy appeal if he can keep that role. He's up to 22 points, 97 shots on net, 109 hits, 47 PIM and a minus-9 rating through 47 outings this season.

FEBRUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Provides helper Tuesday Foligno logged a power-play assist, two hits and two PIM in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Canucks.

Impact Foligno has two goals and an assist over his last three games, factoring on half of the Blackhawks' goals in that span. The 36-year-old winger is seeing big minutes as the team battles injuries and a lack of offense. Foligno has 21 points, 96 shots on net, 105 hits, 47 PIM and a minus-7 rating through 46 appearances. In deep fantasy formats, he may have some appeal for his rough play.

FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Nets lone goal in loss Foligno scored a goal on five shots in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Wild.

Impact The Blackhawks have scored just three times over their last five games, and Foligno has two of those goals. The winger is up to 10 tallies, 19 points, 92 shots on net, 95 hits, 43 PIM and a minus-6 rating through 44 appearances. While he continues to see top-six usage, Chicago's awful offense makes any of the team's forwards risky options in fantasy.

FEBRUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Nets power-play tally Foligno scored a goal on three shots in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Kraken.

Impact Foligno cut Seattle's lead to 4-2 in the opening minute of the third period, directing a Philipp Kurashev feed past Joey Daccord on the power play. The goal is Foligno's first in two games since returning from a seven-game IR stint due to a broken finger. The 36-year-old forward now has nine goals and 18 points through 41 games this season while skating on Chicago's top line and averaging 2:20 minutes on the man advantage.

Ready to rock Foligno (finger) will be activated from injured reserve ahead of his return to the lineup Monday against Vancouver, per Mark Lazerus of The Athletic.

Impact Foligno is slated to play on the top line and work on the first power-play unit following a seven-game absence. He has generated eight goals, 17 points, 74 shots on net and 84 hits in 39 outings this campaign. With Ryan Donato (illness) also good to go, Lukas Reichel and Cole Guttman are expected to be healthy scratches for Monday's contest.
