Wild head coach John Hynes said that forward Marcus Foligno's timeline for return has changed a bit.

ST. PAUL - It was an original timeline of "a couple of games" for Marcus Foligno but Wild head coach John Hynes said today [Friday] that the timetable has changed a bit. 

"I don't feel that way at this point because he's not going to play tomorrow," Hynes said on if Foligno is still going to miss just a couple of games. "So just trying to get a better a better timeline on what it is. That's talking with the medical people and stuff like that, but I don't have a firm one to give you today."

Foligno was hurt in the Pittsburgh Penguins game at home after Marcus Pettersson tripped him. Foligno fell to the ice and later skated off. He got a shift to start a penalty kill in the third period and only lasted 11 seconds before slamming his stick on the ice and skating off in a rush for the tunnel. 

The Wild placed Foligno on the Injured Reserve list and called up a forward for their recent two-game road trip. They sent Adam Beckman down yesterday and signed Mason Shaw to an NHL contract. 

Although Hynes didn't have a timetable for Foligno's return, it is expected he will miss a few more games with an injury.
