Nick Foligno, a forward for the Minnesota Wild, is eager to help them win the Stanley Cup for the first time in franchise history and to see a turnaround for the Chicago Blackhawks. This will be his first game against his former team since being traded to the Wild in a trade deadline deal. The trade put Folignos on the same team as his younger brother, Marcus, and provided an opportunity for him to make a long playoff run in his 19th NHL season. Despite leaving Chicago, Folignono expressed his love for his time and the opportunity to help develop young players. He was acquired by Chicago in a June 2023 trade with Boston and became the 35th captain of the team in November 2024.
