Foligno scored three goals Monday in a 6-3 win over the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

It was his first NHL hat trick. Foligno scored at even strength, on the power play and into an empty net. The hattie came in his 915th NHL game. The wheels have come off Foligno's game this season -- he doubled his goal total (to six), and he has just 10 points in 40 games. Still, Foligno's confidence has to be sky high right now. He has five goals and nine shots in his last four games.

Foligno scored a goal on two shots, added seven PIM and logged two hits in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

The Buffalo native scored the opening goal in his hometown. Foligno has scored twice over the last three games while adding 11 PIM and eight hits in that span. Overall, he has seven points, 41 shots on net, 45 PIM, 124 hits, 37 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating while regularly filling a bottom-six role.

Foligno scored a power-play goal on three shots, added two PIM, doled out three hits and went minus-2 in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Foligno has two goals and two assists over his last seven games for his best stretch of offense this season. While his tally Monday came on the power play, it was his first goal with the man advantage since 2021-22, as he rarely sees time in that situation. He's at six points, 39 shots on net, 36 PIM, 119 hits, 36 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating through 37 contests overall.

Foligno tallied a goal, put two shots on net and dished out two hits in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Foligno helped spark Minnesota's late comeback Wednesday as he put the Wild within one just under seven minutes into the final period of regulation. The twine finder was his first of the season, which was a sight for sore eyes for him after he tallied 14 goals through 77 regular-season games a year ago. While his offensive output has lagged behind this season with just three points and 30 shots on goal through 31 games, he used Wednesday's game to secure his 14th straight campaign with 100-plus hits. If Foligno can put together a point streak, he could hold some sneaky streaming value in deep fantasy leagues that value banger stats with his consistent bundle of hits.

Foligno (lower body) is expected to be activated off injured reserve and make his return to the lineup for Tuesday's home game versus the Capitals, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Foligno last suited up Nov. 26 in Chicago, as he's missed nine games in a row due to his lower-body injury. The veteran winger operated on the third line and worked with the No. 2 power-play unit during Tuesday's morning skate. Marcus Johansson (lower body) will come out of the lineup in correspondence with Foligno's return.

Foligno (lower body) won't play against Colorado on Friday and is week-to-week.

EDGE Analysis

As previously reported, he has moved to the IR list. While a timeline for Foligno's return remains unclear, it appears he will be unavailable for a while after getting hurt in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over Chicago. He has provided two assists, 21 shots on goal, 22 blocked shots, 77 hits and 30 PIM across 23 appearances this season. Due to Foligno's absence, Hunter Haight or Nicolas Aube-Kubel will play against the Avalanche on Friday.

Foligno was put on injured reserve Thursday, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

Foligno left Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over Chicago due to the injury. His placement on IR rules him out for Minnesota's next three games, but he is eligible to be activated ahead of the Wild's clash in Calgary on Dec. 4. Hunter Haight will likely draw into the lineup Friday versus Colorado due to Foligno's absence.

Foligno (lower body) didn't finish Wednesday's contest versus the Blackhawks and was seen limping outside the locker room after the game, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Wild didn't offer an official update on Foligno's status. The 34-year-old winger can be considered day-to-day ahead of Friday's matinee game versus the Avalanche, which is the first half of a back-to-back. Hunter Haight would likely draw into the lineup if Foligno can't play.

Foligno (upper body) will return to the lineup against Winnipeg on Tuesday, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Foligno will return to a third-line role after sitting out Sunday's 6-5 overtime loss to San Jose. He hasn't earned a point in nine appearances this season while generating seven shots on goal, nine blocked shots, 29 hits and 11 PIM. With Foligno good to go, Ben Jones will be a healthy scratch versus the Jets on Tuesday.

Foligno (upper body) will be a game-time call for Tuesday's clash with Winnipeg, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

In his nine games this year, Foligno has yet to register a point while generating seven shots, 29 hits and nine blocks. If the veteran forward can't suit up against the Jets, Tyler Pitlick should continue filling a fourth-line role -- though Ben Jones could also find himself watching from the press box as a healthy scratch.
