Wild's Marcus Foligno: Will try to play through injury

Foligno (lower body) expects to be able to play through his injury for Game 1 against the Blues on Monday, telling reporters, "It's the playoffs. It'd feel wrong sitting out," Sarah McLellan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Foligno hasn't officially been cleared by the team for Monday's matchup, but it certainly sounds like the winger will be on the ice. The Buffalo native is coming off a career year in which he set new personal bests in goals (23), assists (19) and ice time (16:25 per game). If he does suit up, Foligno figures to fill a third-line role.
