Foligno served his two-game suspension and will be back in the Wild lineup on Wednesday.

Foligno was suspended for two games for kneeing Adam Lowry last Tuesday but is set to play tonight in Winnipeg, vs. Lowry and the Jets. Foligno, who has had an outstanding season (17G / 10A), will be back on a line with Joel Eriksson Ek and Jordan Greenway.

The Canadiens have acquired Tyler Pitlick, Emil Heineman, a 2022 first-round pick and a 2024 fifth-round pick from the Flames for Tyler Toffoli.

Pitlick never found his groove with the Flames, registering just two assists in 25 games. He gets sent to Montreal to help clear salary space for the Flames to bring on Toffoli. He'll likely play a similar, bottom-6 role in Montreal.

Foligno has been suspended for two games for kneeing Adam Lowry on Tuesday.

Foligno kneed Lowry during a fight on Tuesday night and will miss Saturday's game vs. Carolina and Monday's game vs. Detroit. Foligno will be eligible to return next Wednesday in Winnipeg. Brandon Duhaime will move up to the third line while Foligno is out.
