Foligno has made an impact in his first season with the Blackhawks, scoring 17 points (8G / 9A) in 39 games, his best point-per-game pace (0.44) in five seasons.

Chicago has agreed to a two-year, $9 million ($4,500,000 AAV) contract extension with Nick Foligno.

Foligno, currently on IR due to a fractured finger, has made an impact in his first season with the Blackhawks, scoring 17 points (8G / 9A) in 39 games, his best point-per-game pace (0.44) in five seasons. Foligno has also contributed an impressive 73 shots and 84 hits this season. His $4.5 million AAV next season ranks second among all forwards on the Blackhawks, only behind Taylor Hall ($6 million AAV).

Foligno (undisclosed) will not return to Friday's game in New Jersey.

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 have signed Nick Foligno to a one-year deal worth $4.0 million.

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.

Nick Foligno's rights have been traded to Chicago alongside Taylor Hall for Ian Mitchell and Alec Regula.

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.

Nick Foligno will be a healthy scratch for Game 3 Friday vs. Florida.

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 (lower-body) is expected to play in Game 1 vs. the Panthers.

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 (lower-body) is doubtful to play Monday in Washington.

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.
