Marcus Foligno News
Foligno (upper body) returns to the Sabres lineup tonight.
Foligno will make his season debut on the Sabres second line with Tyler Ennis and Drew Stafford. The trio played together for much of last season; when Foligno had five goals and 13 assists in 47 games.
Marcus Foligno, who has yet to play because of shoulder injury, is participating fully in practice.
Foligno had five goals and 13 assists in 47 games last season. He has a chance to make his season debut tomorrow vs. Tampa Bay.
Buffalo Sabres coach Ron Rolston said today that Marcus Foligno will not play in the team's season opener against Detroit.
Foligno sustained an upper-body strain in a preseason game on Sept. 22 against Toronto and has not participated in a full practice since. He's worked with the team's power play units the last few days before the rest of the team has taken the ice but has done so while sporting a red non-contact jersey. He may miss the games over the weekend against Ottawa on Friday and in Pittsburgh on Saturday as well.
#Sabres head coach Ron Rolston with an injury update on Foligno, says it's not looking good now for him to play Wednesday. It appears Foligno may start the season on IR.
Drew Stafford will take Foligno's spot on the Sabres top-line.
