Foligno notched an assist, four hits and two blocked shots in Friday's 4-1 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Foligno picked up the secondary helper on Jordan Greenway's empty-net goal in the third period. The assist ended a three-game drought for Foligno, who has two points, 16 hits and a plus-3 rating through five appearances. While he's a solid source of hits, Foligno's scoring numbers aren't likely to be enough to earn him a spot on virtual rosters.

Foligno signed a three-year, $9.3 million contract with the Wild on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Foligno will be playing under the final year of his contract during the 2020-21 season, carrying a $2.875 million cap hit. The new deal locks down the 29-year-old in Minnesota through the 2023-24 campaign. Foligno is a strong bottom-six presence, specifically in the defensive zone, and he dished out 184 hits over 59 games last season. The New York native added 11 goals and a career-high 25 points in that stretch as well. Foligno is expected to flank Joel Eriksson Ek on the third line to start the year.

Foligno notched an assist and produced a game-high eight hits in Friday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Canucks in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Qualifiers.
EDGE Analysis
Foligno had five more hits than the next-highest total on the team, which was defenseman Matt Bartkowski's three. The 28-year-old Foligno added an assist on Eric Staal's first-period tally. Foligno, Staal and Kevin Fiala worked on the first line as head coach Dean Evason shuffled his lines a bit in an attempt to spark the offense. During the four-game series, Foligno had just one assist, but added 23 hits, five PIM and a minus-2 rating.

Foligno recorded an assist and two PIM in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Foligno has three points in his last two games after a six-game point drought. The 28-year-old forward is up to a career-high 25 points to go with 184 hits, 86 shots on net and 28 PIM in 59 outings. He can carry some value in deeper formats that reward physicality.

Foligno scored a goal on his only shot and had two hits in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Foligno batted his own rebound out of mid-air to provide Minnesota's only scoring. It was Foligno's first goal since Jan. 14, snapping a 14-game goal drought. The physical veteran has 10 goals and 22 points in 51 games. He's within striking distance of his previous career highs of 13 and 23, respectively.

Foligno collected a helper, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 3-2 win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Foligno set up Ryan Suter for a shot, which rebounded to Joel Eriksson Ek for the Wild's first goal of the game. The helper snapped a four-game point drought for Foligno, who now has 21 points, 62 shots and 146 hits through 44 contests. He's never recorded more than 23 points in a season -- a mark he achieved three times -- but it seems likely the 28-year-old will do so in 2019-20.

Foligno provided an assist and three hits in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Foligno picked up the secondary helper on Luke Kunin's third-period tally. The 28-year-old winger has racked up five goals and three assists in his last eight games. He's up to 20 points and 134 hits this season in just 39 games. Foligno had 23 points in three straight years as his career high, but he's on pace to shatter that mark in 2019-20.

Foligno scored his team's only goal in a 4-1 loss to Vancouver on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Foligno has scored eight goals this season, including four in his last five games. With only 17 points to his name in 2019-20, Foligno needs to find other ways to impact games and has done so by dishing out 119 hits this season.

Foligno potted a pair of goals in Sunday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Foligno struck twice in the first period, but neither lead held up in a back-and-forth game. The forward has scored in bunches recently, with consecutive two-point games following a five-game drought that came after a three-point outing. With 16 points, 49 shots on goal and 116 hits in 33 games, Foligno is just too streaky to be relied on in fantasy.
