The Minnesota Wild announced Monday that forward Marcus Foligno has been added to the injured reserve list due to a lower body injury.
Team officials have not provided specific information about the nature or severity of Foligno’s injury.
Foligno’s last appearance came during Minnesota’s 5-2 defeat against the Utah Mammoth on Friday, where he spent 12 minutes and 34 seconds on the ice across 19 shifts and accumulated four penalty minutes. He was absent from Sunday’s 3-1 defeat to the St. Louis Blues.
To fill the roster vacancy, Minnesota has picked up forward Robby Fabbri from the Blues’ waiver wire. This season, Fabbri has contributed one goal and three assists across 15 games with St. Louis while also spending time with the Charlotte Checkers in the AHL.
Since joining Minnesota for the 2017-18 campaign, Foligno has served as an alternate captain for the Wild. During his nine-year tenure with the team, he has accumulated 218 points through 97 goals and 121 assists in 576 games.
Throughout his 15-year NHL career with both Buffalo (2011-17) and Minnesota, Foligno has registered 334 total points, including 146 goals and 188 assists.
