Marcus Foligno has left the leap behind in Buffalo. That doesn’t mean his offensive production can’t or won’t continue to rise in Minnesota. Coming off a career-high 13 goals for the Sabres last season, the soon-to-be-26-year-old was acquired in a trade earlier this summer to bring some needed grit and strength to the left wing position.
