Foligno (thumb) is expected to return Sunday against the Islanders, reports Brian Koziol of WGR 550. Out since late December after a fight with Boston's Matt Bartkowski, Foligno has played in just 28 games this season, scoring nine points. He was used as a center prior to his injury and it remains to be seen if he'll return to that position, but the Sabres could use a boost from Foligno's aggressive and physical style of play. Teammate Chris Stewart has been on fire, which can hopefully rub off on Foligno, an occasional linemate. Foligno is very likely to dress. If not, he'll certainly return Tuesday. No word on who will be taken out of the lineup, but the smart money would be on Matt Ellis or Patrick Kaleta.
