Foligno scored a goal and added two assists -- one on the power play -- in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Foligno flubbed a shot in the first-period, but it found the stick of Joel Eriksson Ek, who tipped it in out of the air. In the second, Foligno assisted on Kevin Fiala's power-play goal before beating Alexandar Georgiev on a breakaway. Minnesota took full advantage of facing the underwhelming Rangers backup instead of Vezina Trophy frontrunner Igor Shesterkin, as Foligno registered his first multi-point game since Jan. 21.

Foligno added a goal in a 5-1 loss to the Flames on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Foligno had not found the back of the net across his previous eight games before netting the lone score for the Wild in this one. The left winger has been solid otherwise though this season, putting up a career-high 18 goals in 47 contests.

Foligno has served his two-game suspension and is available for Wednesday's matchup with Winnipeg.
EDGE Analysis
It's an interesting twist that Foligno's return comes against the same team for which he was banned in the first place, which no doubt could lead to some fireworks on the ice. The 30-year-old winger has already reached a new career high with 17 goals this year and should easily cruise to the 20-goal mark for the first time in his career.

Foligno received a two-game suspension Thursday for kneeing Winnipeg's Adam Lowry in the head, Ken Wiebe of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Foligno will miss the next two games, Saturday's contest against Carolina and Monday's tilt versus Detroit. He will be eligible to return for Wednesday's game in Winnipeg. The 30-year-old has tallied 17 goals and 10 assists over 40 games this season.

Foligno will have a hearing with the Department of Player Safety for kneeing Jets' Adam Lowry.
EDGE Analysis
While Foligno doesn't have a suspension history, the fact that he drove his knee into Lowry following their fight Tuesday likely will see him banned for more than one game. The 30-year-old winger was just one game back from an upper-body injury and now faces the prospect of sitting out again versus Carolina on Saturday.

Foligno racked up 12 PIM and four hits in Tuesday's 2-0 loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Foligno twice fought Adam Lowry in a game that saw the referees let many things go. At the end of their second fight, Foligno caught Lowry with a knee to the head, which could earn the former supplemental discipline. The 30-year-old Foligno was playing in his first game back from an upper-body injury that kept him out of the last two contests. He's been an effective power forward this year with 17 goals, 27 points, 117 hits and 87 PIM through 40 appearances.

EDGE Analysis
Foligno missed Minnesota's last two games before the All-Star break but will be ready to return as the team begins its second half. The 30-year-old winger has already set career highs in both goals (17) and points (27) while skating in a middle-six role for the Wild.

Foligno (upper body) won't play Wednesday versus Chicago, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
According to Russo, the Wild are being "extra cautious" with Foligno, which suggests he could be ready to return next Tuesday against Winnipeg following the All-Star break. Foligno has enjoyed a career year from an offensive standpoint, having already set career highs in goals (17) and points (27) to go along with a whopping 113 hits through just 39 contests.

Foligno (upper body) will not participate in Sunday's game against the Islanders, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Foligno is considered day-to-day for Wednesday's game versus Chicago, Russo adds. The 30-year-old suffered an upper-body injury in Friday's 3-2 win over the Rangers. The New York native has averaged 17:10 of ice time -- 2:10 during the power play -- and recorded four points over his last five appearances.
