Marcus Foligno was always known as a depth player you wanted on your team, but this season he solidified he can be more of a depth player scoring 23 goals and 42 points while averaging over 16 minutes of ice time per game this season.
In the final game of the season Kurtis MacDermid delivered a dirty hit to Foligno which knocked him out of the game.
Here is what Foligno had to say about playing in the playoffs despite his injury.
It's the playoffs. That's my biggest answer, Foligno said when asked how he felt. «It'd feel wrong sitting out and just tried to get back and obviously feeling a lot better (Saturday) and got good news from docs. Just something you gotta play through for a while, and I can do that. Obviously, there's a little bit more equipment on the knee, but other than that, I feel pretty good, skating-wise, and I wouldn't be out there if I didn't feel like I could play. So, I feel pretty good.
