Foligno (upper body) will not be in the lineup to face Buffalo on Saturday, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Foligno will be shelved for his third straight contest due to his lingering upper-body issue. The 33-year-old forward is currently mired in a 10-game pointless streak dating back to Feb. 25 versus the Red Wings. The Wild may get Marcus Johansson (illness) back versus Buffalo, which would prevent the team from needing to bring a forward up from the minors.

Foligno (upper body) isn't expected to return Wednesday versus Seattle, per Jessi Pierce of NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Foligno also missed Monday's 3-1 win over Los Angeles. He has 11 goals, 22 points, 66 PIM and 219 hits in 67 appearances in 2024-25. Foligno is day-to-day, so his next chance to return will come Saturday versus Buffalo.

Foligno (upper body) will not play in Monday's home matchup versus the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Foligno will miss his first game of the season, and it's another obstacle for the Wild to overcome up front -- they're already without Kirill Kaprizov and Joel Eriksson Ek due to lower-body injuries. Brendan Gaunce, who has been a healthy scratch in six consecutive contests, will draw back into the lineup Monday. Foligno has accounted for 11 goals, 22 points and a plus-5 rating over 67 appearances in 2024-25. His next chance to return to the lineup will be against the Kraken on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis
