Foligno has been out since March 12th but will return to the lineup on Monday, when he is expected to be reunited with Joel Eriksson Ek and Jordan Greenway. In the first 25 games of the season when Foligno was available, the Wild were 16-8-1 but were 8-5-2 without him over the last month.





Zuccarello has missed the last two games with a lower-body injury but will play tonight vs. the Avalanche. With Zuccarello back, look for Kyle Rau to take a seat.

Hinostroza was acquired from the Panthers a few days ago and will make his season debut for Chicago on Tuesday. Hinostroza, who was pointless in nine games with the Panthers, had 39 points (13G / 26A) in 106 games with Chicago in his first go-around with the team.




Kiersted just signed with the Panthers after finishing his senior year at the University of North Dakota. The Panthers will waste no time getting him into the lineup, as he'll skate with veteran Anton Stralman on Saturday. The 22-year-old blueliner had three goals and 19 assists (22 points) in 29 games at UND.

Hinostroza has been a healthy scratch more than not in 2021, failing to record a point in his first nine games with the Panthers. He has a better chance of cracking the Blackhawks lineup but likely won't ever be in the top-6.
