Foote will step in and fill defensive minutes while Ryan McDonagh (upper body) misses time.
Footer isn't known for his offense -- he only has one goal and six assists in 42 games this season and has spent several games in the press box. But he isn't afraid to throw his body in front of pucks and get in lanes. That doesn't make Foote a fantasy guy, but he will certainly help on the ice while McDonagh recovers.
