With Foligno sidelined, the Wild quickly acquire a physical forward to fill the void, sending a second-round pick to Nashville.
thehockeynews.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting:
- Marcus Foligno was placed on injured reserve with a lower-body injury in early March 2026 and was listed as week-to-week, with no definitive season-ending diagnosis at that time. This period included discussions about how the Minnesota Wild would cope without him and the possibility of roster adjustments to fill the void [THN: Wild place Foligno on IR; THN: Foligno out week-to-week] [ESPN: Foligno week-to-week with lower-body injury].
- By mid-March 2026, reports indicated Foligno was not practicing with a clear return timeline, and the team was evaluating options to maintain depth while he was out [THN: Foligno out week-to-week; ESPN: week-to-week update].
- Foligno subsequently returned to play later in the season, including a notable return game after his injury absence, where he contributed offensively and physically in line with his typical role [FOX Sports: Foligno returns; CBSSports: Foligno slated to return].
- In May 2026, ongoing coverage highlighted his role as a veteran presence and noted his continued contributions once back in the lineup, including goals and physical play as the team navigated playoffs and depth scenarios [FOX Sports: post-injury return performance; ESPN/NHL.com-type outlets].

Additionally, I can provide a quick timeline of Foligno’s injury and return, or compile a list of the latest official team updates.
