Foligno was placed on the COVID-19 protocol list and likely will not travel to Montreal for Tuesday's game. If Foligno misses time, the Wild will be without two-thirds of their talented checking line.







Boldy suffered an upper-body injury vs. the Penguins on Thursday and will not play on Saturday. He is on the road trip and has not officially been ruled out for Sunday's game, but it seems unlikely that he will play. Nick Bjugstad will likely draw into the lineup in Carolina.


Pitlick missed the last two games with an upper-body injury that he suffered vs. the Maple Leafs last Saturday. Pitlick will replace Mathieu Perreault in the lineup vs. the Hurricanes. Pitlick has picked up just two assists in 27 games this season.





Tarasenko missed the last two games with an illness but will play Thursday vs. the Flyers. With the second line playing well in his absence, he'll start on the "third" line with Robert Thomas and Ivan Barbashev.

Tarasenko will miss his second straight game with an illness but could join the team in Buffalo for Friday's game. The Blues will also be without Robert Thomas (upper-body), so the Blues may need to go with 11 forwards and seven defensemen.
