Marcus Foligno leads the Rochester Americans with 15 assists and 21 points in 22 games this campaign.
"He plays a major role on the team in terms of asking him every night to produce offensively but also be a physical presence for us," said coach Ron Rolston. "In this league, that takes a lot of energy in the way he plays, the physical nature that he plays with. Whether he's got the puck or he doesn't have the puck, we want him to be an attacking player." Foligno is expected to be a part of the Buffalo Sabres once the lockout ends, so his AHL output early into this year has to be encouraging to the team's brass and to potential fantasy owners alike.
