Foligno scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Foligno missed 19 games due to a hand injury before stepping back into the lineup Sunday. He logged 13:02 of ice time in this loss, and he'll likely be set for bottom-six minutes on the wing even with the Blackhawks thin at center until Connor Bedard (upper body) and Frank Nazar (upper body) come back. Foligno can add some grit for fantasy managers, but he's risky to count on for offense. He's at one goal, six assists, 19 shots on net, 43 hits, 16 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 16 appearances this season.

Foligno (hand) was activated from injured reserve Sunday, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

Following a 19-game absence, Foligno appears to be available to return to the lineup against Pittsburgh on Sunday. He has contributed six assists, 16 shots on net, 11 blocked shots and 41 hits through 15 appearances this season.

Foligno (hand) will not be ready to return versus Philadelphia on Tuesday, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Foligno started practicing with the team but will remain on the shelf until after the Christmas break. With the Hawks returning from the break with a back-to-back against the Stars and Penguins on Saturday and Sunday, respectively, they may be extra cautious pressing Foligno back into service.

Foligno (hand) was a full participant in Monday's practice session, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Foligno has been on injured reserve for just over a month due to a hand injury, and he's made progress in his recovery recently. While it was encouraging to see him fully participate in practice, the Blackhawks won't make a determination on his status for Tuesday's game against the Flyers until after the team's morning skate. Even if Foligno requires another game on the shelf, it wouldn't be surprising to see him return shortly after the holiday break.

Foligno (hand) will travel with the Blackhawks for their three-game road trip and could return against Montreal or Ottawa on Thursday or Saturday, respectively, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

While Foligno won't be in action for Tuesday's matchup with Toronto, he is trending in the right direction and should be back in the lineup before the Hawks return to Chicago. Prior to getting hurt, the Buffalo native was stuck in a season-long goal drought, failing to score while adding six assists in 15 appearances. At this point, Foligno could be in danger of missing the 15-goal mark for the first time since 2022-23.

Foligno (hand) was placed on injured reserve Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Foligno will be out for about four weeks after suffering an injury on a blocked shot in Saturday's 3-2 win over Toronto. He has collected six assists, 16 shots on goal, 11 blocked shots and 41 hits across 15 outings this season.

Foligno (hand) is set to miss four weeks after getting injured versus the Maple Leafs on Saturday, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Foligno was injured blocking a shot, and it will be a costly one. The 38-year-old's absence could be offset by the potential returns of Jason Dickinson (shoulder) or Tyler Bertuzzi (undisclosed) if they're healthy prior to Tuesday's game versus the Flames. Don't be shocked to see Foligno end up on injured reserve soon.

Foligno (undisclosed) will not return to Saturday's game versus the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Per Tracey Myers of NHL.com, Foligno took a shot off the hand, though the Blackhawks did not specify the nature of his injury. The 38-year-old forward will be considered day-to-day until more information is made available, leaving his status in question for Tuesday's game versus the Flames.

Foligno logged two assists, four hits and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Foligno had gone six games since his previous scoring contribution, which was a two-assist effort versus the Senators on Oct. 28. With the Blackhawks' young players emerging in key roles, Foligno has been confined to the bottom six more often this season. He's at six helpers, 13 shots on net, 16 PIM, 39 hits and 10 blocked shots through 14 appearances.

Foligno recorded two assists, four hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

These were Foligno's first points in three games since returning to the team following a personal leave. The 37-year-old has filled a bottom-six role so far this season, picking up four assists, seven shots on net, 19 hits, seven blocked shots and nine PIM through seven appearances. He has a blend of offense and physicality that can help in deeper fantasy formats, but it's unclear if he'll carve out a larger role than usual this season.
