Nick Foligno News

Foligno fought the Devils' Brendan Smith in the second period of Friday's game and left the game shortly afterwards. We should expect to receive an update on the injury and a possible timeline for his return to the lineup following the completion of Friday's game.

The Blackhawks acquired the rights to Foligno from the Boston Bruins along with Taylor Hall on Monday and signed the veteran winger to a one-year deal on Tuesday. Foligno doesn't pack the same offensive punch he once did in Columbus but is a terrific veteran presence for a Blackhawks team going through a transitional period. Foligno had 26 points (10G / 16A) in 60 games with the Bruins in 2022-23.

Foligno had 10 goals, 16 assists, 71 SOG, 45 PIMs, a +18 plus/minus through 60 games with Boston in 2022-23 and has had his rights traded alongside Taylor Hall to Chicago for the rights to Ian Mitchell and Alec Regula. If the 35-year-old left-winger is to sign with the Blackhawks, he will enter his 17th season with his fifth NHL team having collected 215 goals and 525 points across 1081 career games played.

Foligno had an assist, one SOG and 12 PIMs through the first two games of the Bruins' opening playoff series but will be a healthy scratch Friday for Game 3 as Jakub Laura takes his place in Boston's lineup. The 35-year-old had nine goals, 25 points, 71 SOG, 45 PIMs and a +18 plus/minus through 60 games during the regular season.

Foligno missed the final 22 games of the regular season but appears on-track to play in Game 1 vs. the Panthers. Foligno, who finished 10 goals and 16 assists (26 points) in 60 games this season, skated on the fourth line and second power-play unit in Sunday's practice.

Foligno missed the Bruins' previous game vs. Buffalo due to a lower-body injury and will head to the injured reserve Thursday. The 35-year-old has 10 goals, 16 assists, 71 SOG, 45 PIMs and a +18 plus/minus through 60 games this season prior to his injury.

Foligno left the Bruins' previous game after 8:02 TOI due to a lower-body injury and will be a game-time decision Thursday vs. Buffalo. The 35-year-old has 10 goals, 16 assists, 71 SOG, 45 PIMs and a +18 plus/minus through 60 games this season.

Foligno missed Thursday's game vs. the Devils with a lower-body injury but will play Saturday vs. the Blue Jackets. Foligno, who has just one assist in his last 10 games, will replace Anton Blidh on the Bruins' fourth line.

Foligno suffered a lower-body injury vs. the Maple Leafs and will not be available on Thursday. Anton Blidh will replace Foligno, who is day-to-day.

Foligno missed four games with an upper-body injury but will play Tuesday vs. the Penguins. Folgino will sub back into the lineup on the fourth line, replacing Anton Blidh.

Foligno skated on the fourth line in Monday's practice session and may be back in the lineup on Tuesday. Foligno has picked ups just one goal and six assists (seven points) in 26 games this season.

Foligno suffered an upper-body injury midway though Monday's loss to the Ducks. He will not travel on their upcoming three-game road trip, so Jesper Froden was recalled and will join the team.

Foligno missed the last five games with a lower-body injury but will play Thursday vs. the Capitals. Foligno, who has just six points (1G / 5A) in 23 games this season, will replace Oskar Steen on the third line.

Foligno played just 4:50 TOI before leaving Saturday's game in Tampa with a lower-body injury. The Bruins have yet to provide any timeline on Foligno's return, but he's not expected to play Monday in Washington. Jake DeBrusk may be activated from the COVID-19 protocol list to replace Foligno in the Bruins' bottom-6.

Foligno left Wednesday's game with an upper-body injury and did not return. Foligno has been ruled out of Friday's game vs. Buffalo and Anton Blidh is expected to replace him in the lineup. Look for Karson Kuhlman to move up to the third line.
