Foligno (lower body) will play in Game 1 against the Blues on Monday, Sarah McLellan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Foligno will be in the lineup despite dealing with a minor injury. Because he's not at 100 percent, his ice time could be limited compared to the 16:25 he averaged during the regular season. The veteran forward set new career highs in goals (23) and points (42) this season while racking up 238 hits.

Foligno (lower body) expects to be able to play through his injury for Game 1 against the Blues on Monday, telling reporters, "It's the playoffs. It'd feel wrong sitting out," Sarah McLellan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Foligno hasn't officially been cleared by the team for Monday's matchup, but it certainly sounds like the winger will be on the ice. The Buffalo native is coming off a career year in which he set new personal bests in goals (23), assists (19) and ice time (16:25 per game). If he does suit up, Foligno figures to fill a third-line role.

Foligno was placed in the league's COVID-19 protocols Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Based on the NHL's five-day isolation period, Foligno should be expected to miss the Wild's next three games. In the meantime, the club recalled Mithcell Chaffee from the minors and may be forced to utilize him during those upcoming games if neither Tyson Jost (lower body) or Jordan Greenway (upper body) is cleared to play. Foligno has already set career highs in goals (22) and points (39).

EDGE Analysis
Foligno set up the first of Jared Spurgeon's two goals in the game. In his last eight games, Foligno's remained a steady depth scorer with three goals and two assists.

Foligno scored a goal, dished an assist and went plus-3 in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Foligno's had a career year on offense, and he was able to check off a 20-goal campaign with his third-period tally. He also helped out on the second of Joel Eriksson Ek's goals in the contest. Foligno had been limited to just three assists in his last 12 games entering Sunday. He's now at 36 points, 85 shots on net, 207 hits, 105 PIM and a plus-22 rating through 64 outings.

Foligno recorded an assist, four shots on goal and two hits in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Foligno helped out on a Jordan Greenway tally in the second period. Regression has hit hard for Foligno lately -- the physical winger has just three assists to go with 36 hits, 12 PIM and eight shots on net in his last 10 outings. For the season, the 30-year-old is at a career-high 34 points, 83 shots on net, 199 hits, 105 PIM and a plus-19 rating through 61 appearances. Given his recent struggles and third-line role, he's a fringe option in standard fantasy formats at this point in the year.
