Foligno (lower body) will not be taking the trip for Saturday's tilt in Boston, Paul Hamilton of WGR 550 reports.

EDGE Analysis

The injury must have occurred during Thursday's game against Boston, though there was no word of it until Friday. Foligno could return Tuesday to take on the Panthers at home, but expect the Sabres to recall another forward for the time being.

Foligno (upper body) will be on the fourth line Saturday against Boston, reports Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News.

EDGE Analysis

Foligno's sat out the past three games due to injury and after a lengthy break will return to the lineup against Boston. He'll play on the fourth line with David Legwand and Nicolas Deslauriers. The hard-hitting winger has seven points in 30 games this season.

Foligno (upper body) is not playing Saturday versus the Blackhawks, per NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Foligno has now missed the past three games and there hasn't been any indication of when he'll be able to return to the ice for another match. Fortunately, the holiday break looms, and Foligno will have until Dec. 26 before needing to draw into the next game.

Foligno (upper body) won't play Thursday against the Ducks, NHL.com's Joe Yerdon reports.

EDGE Analysis

Foligno's upper-body injury will force him to miss a second-consecutive game Thursday, but he's still listed as day-to-day with the ailment, indicating the issue isn't overly serious. The 24-year-old winger will hope to return to action Saturday against the Blackhawks.

Foligno (upper body) won't play Tuesday against the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

The exact nature of Foligno's ailment remains unclear, but it will cost him at least one game Tuesday against New Jersey. The 24-year-old winger will hope to return to action Thursday against Anaheim, but the Sabres should provide an update on his status ahead of that contest.

Foligno, who missed Saturday's game with a leg injury, is expected to play Monday against the Flyers, reports The Buffalo News.

EDGE Analysis

Foligno will likely return to his usual spot in the bottom-six of the lineup, though without the services of Evander Kane the Sabres may opt to play Foligno on the top line for a few shifts. Nicolas Deslauriers took Kane's spot in practice but he's not expected to play with them every shift. This is a good opportunity for Foligno to live up to expectations as a power forward with a scoring touch, but given his recent performances it'll be difficult to realize. Until he goes on a hot streak, it's safe to leave him on the waiver wire in fantasy.

Foligno practiced Monday morning, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.

EDGE Analysis

After sitting out Saturday's contest with the Devils due to a lower-body injury, Foligno returned to the ice Monday. This development points to Foligno being in the Sabres' lineup Tuesday night when they take on the Flyers.

Foligno has been ruled out prior to Saturday's game, Bill Hoppe of the Times Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear at this time why Foligno was not able to suit up for the Sabres on Saturday, but more information should be provided after the game.

Foligno will start on the fourth line with Nicolas Deslauriers, reports The Buffalo News.

EDGE Analysis

It seems less likely with each passing year that Foligno will ever develop into a 20-goal checking line forward. He's scored just 15 goals over the past two seasons, and while he's a physical force, his offensive potential seems to be tapped out. After sitting out a few games as a healthy scratch last year, Foligno looks to be a fixture in the lineup with head coach Dan Bylsma indicating that he may ask Foligno to fill in as a center if needed. Until Foligno can score more often and perform more consistently, he's of little fantasy value.

Foligno netted a pair of goals and fired five shots on goal in Friday's loss to Chicago. While he's now got five points in his last six games, the goals were his first in 24 outings. Currently skating on the second line, the 23-year-old is an inconsistent scorer who shows flashes of brilliance, but remains too streaky to be trusted in anything but the deepest of leagues.
