When healthy this season, he's posted a goal, a plus-2 rating and three shots on net over three appearances.

Set to miss next two games Foligno (upper body) will not play in each of Minnesota's next two games, per Joe O'Donnell.

Impact Foligno exited Tuesday's contest against the Sabres after the first period, as he did not rejoin the team on the bench for the start of the second. Per head coach John Hynes, the veteran forward will not play in Thursday's clash with Tampa Bay or Saturday's matchup against the Panthers. Foligno was off to a solid start to the new season, where he had one goal, a plus-two rating and three shots on net between his first three outings. With the 38-year-old winger sidelined, Nico Sturm is set to make his season debut. Foligno's next opportunity to return is Monday against the Golden Knights.

Finds twine in win Foligno scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Predators.

Impact Foligno tallied the opening goal of the season for the Wild. The 38-year-old winger is set to be a fixture on the fourth line alongside his brother, Marcus Foligno, and center Michael McCarron. That trio will be one of the most physically imposing lines in the league, though it's the toughness that will stand out more than the scoring. The elder Foligno was limited to 15 points over 54 regular-season contests between Minnesota and Chicago last year, though he also added 44 PIM and 129 hits.

Impact Foligno had four goals, 15 points, 44 PIM, 129 hits and 33 blocks in 54 regular-season appearances between Chicago and Minnesota in 2025-26. The 38-year-old will probably open 2026-27 on the Wild's fourth line, but he's capable of shifting to a middle-six role if injuries warrant the change.
