Nick Foligno - NHL News & Rumors

Slated to play in Columbus Foligno (undisclosed) is expected to be in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Columbus, CHGO Sports reports.

Impact Foligno has missed back-to-back games after getting hurt Thursday in Pittsburgh, but he'll more than likely avoid missing Chicago's final matchup prior to the Olympic break. The veteran forward has provided two goals, 10 points, 76 hits and a plus-2 rating while averaging 12:55 of ice time through 32 appearances in 2025-26.

Unavailable Monday Foligno (undisclosed) won't play against San Jose on Monday, per Vinnie Parise of The Hockey News.

Impact Foligno participated in Sunday's practice, but he will miss his second straight game. Still, it's unclear if he will be ready to return against Columbus on Wednesday. Foligno has earned two goals, 10 points, 26 shots on net, 25 blocked shots and 76 hits across 32 appearances this season.

Not playing Friday Foligno (undisclosed) won't be in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Blue Jackets, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports.

Impact Foligno sustained the injury Thursday versus the Penguins. The 38-year-old is still considered day-to-day for now, but he'll miss at least one contest, and if the injury is significant enough, the Blackhawks could hold him out through the Olympic break. No additional details were made available regarding Foligno's injury.

Leaves game with injury Foligno sustained an undisclosed injury Thursday versus the Penguins, and there was no update on his status after the game, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Foligno logged just two shifts in the contest. The 38-year-old can be considered day-to-day, though he may not be able to play the second half of a back-to-back when the Blackhawks host the Blue Jackets on Friday. Sam Lafferty or Landon Slaggert would likely get into the lineup if Foligno misses time.

Tallies early in loss Foligno scored a goal, added two hits and blocked two shots in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Flames.

Impact Foligno snapped an eight-game goal drought with the tally. The 38-year-old is up to two goals, nine points, 24 shots on net, 62 hits, 20 blocked shots, 18 PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 25 appearances. Foligno continues to fill a bottom-six role, so his chances to contribute on offense are likely to remain limited.

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

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

DECEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

Impact 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 in 15 appearances. At this point, Foligno could be in danger of missing the 15-goal mark for the first time since 2022-23.
