Foligno Hits Ice First Time Post-Injury, Timeline Murky

Marcus Foligno laces up for the first time since his lower-body setback landed him on IR, but Wild coach John Hynes keeps the return date under wraps as Guerin scrambles for penalty-kill depth. The 34-year-old captain's absence exposed Minnesota's grit shortage, with Trenin and Johansson picking up extra shorthanded minutes nobody saw coming. Fans in St. Paul hold their breath, knowing a prolonged sideline stint could force Guerin's hand at the trade mart.
