Foligno finished Monday's 1-0 loss to Nashville with a shot on goal, a hit, and a block. He was also called for a minor penalty in the third period.

EDGE Analysis

Without a point in five straight, Foligno was held off the scoresheet for a sixth consecutive game Monday, along with the rest of his teammates, in a game that saw Minnesota shut out by Juuse Saros. The depth forward has only a goal and two assists in the month of March (13 games).

Foligno dished out an even-strength assist in Tuesday's 5-4 loss in Nashville.

EDGE Analysis

Foligno finally got back in the point column after he had been pointless in his last nine contests. The 27-year-old found Eric Fehr in front, and pushed his season point total to 16 in 67 games. The fact that Foligno received just 12:19 of ice time and still had an assist, two hits and two blocks shows he can produce in a limited role going forward.

Foligno has four points and four blocks while averaging 13:27 in his past five games.

EDGE Analysis

His last five games includes a rarely-seen Gordie Howe hat trick against New Jersey Feb 9. Foligno moved his point total up to 15 in 64 game, while averaging just :03 of power-play ice time. With a limited role in the Minnesota depth chart, fantasy owners should be skeptical about deploying Foligno despite his recent success.

Foligno recorded a Gordie Howe hat trick Saturday in New Jersey by virtue of picking up a goal, an assist and a fighting major.

EDGE Analysis

Foligno accomplished an increasingly rare feat in the modern NHL given the precipitous decline in fisticuffs. He scored his fifth goal of the season in the opening frame, then dropped the gloves with New Jersey's Kurtis Gabriel in the second, just two seconds after Zach Parise had given the Wild a 2-1 lead. Foligno added an assist later in the middle frame to complete the Gordie Howe hat trick. With just 13 points in 55 games, Foligno's fantasy value remains limited despite this spirited performance.

Foligno scored his second goal of 2019 in Monday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Foligno was the first Minnesota scorer in this one, as he wiggled his way around defenseman Nick Holden and one-timed and a beautiful pass from Joel Eriksson Ek. Still, despite his strong effort creating offense against a Vegas club that is difficult to beat at home, Foligno is locked into a bottom-six role and severely lacks offensive upside.

Foligno finished Tuesday's 4-0 loss to San Jose with two hits and two blocked shots.

EDGE Analysis

With only six points in 33 games, 2018-19 has been the worst season statistically for the 28-year-old Foligno. Historically, he's has been an opportunistic goal scorer with a career shooting percentage of 11.4. However this season has been different with the veteran forward presently sporting a 5.1 shooting percentage, far and away the lowest of his career.

Foligno failed to record a point in Wednesday's 6-4 win against the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Foligno was iffy heading into Wednesday's game, having blocked a shot in Minnesota's previous game. The 27-year-old managed to gut it out but was not rewarded with any points, unfortunately. In 22 games, the American-born forward has just a goal and three assists.

Foligno (leg) is confident that he will play Wednesday night against the Senators, Sarah McLellan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Considering Foligno was merely day-to-day with his injury and declares himself ready to play, Wild fans can expect him out there again on the fourth line, reprising his role as a penalty-killing specialist. However, you'll have to ask yourself if a forward with just four points through 21 games is even worth owning in the first place. We're guessing there are better options unless you play in an absurdly deep league.

Foligno is hoping that his leg injury feels better soon after blocking a shot Sunday, Sarah McLellan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Foligno (leg) left in the third period of Sunday's contest but X-rays following the game were negative. The injury is being described as "dead leg" and as of now, it's unclear if the 27-year-old will miss time. Luckily, he'll get the benefit of two days off with Minnesota not scheduled to play again till Wednesday.

Foligno has a goal and an assist in his last two games as he's been clicking with Eric Fehr and J.T. Brown on the fourth line, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

We wouldn't get too excited as Foligno is on the ice mostly for a checking role. He could serve as a low-end option in deeper formats that reward hits (29) and blocks (10).
