Cool article on the Athletic about Sundquist and Foligino. Foligino took out Tom Wilson for him, from a dirty hit in the preseason.
“I’m lining up for the first faceoff, and it’s Foligno next to me,” Sundqvist said in June on the “Cam & Strick” podcast. “So he goes, ‘That’s such a bull—- hit. I’m gonna take him for you. Don’t worry buddy.’
“And the next game against Washington, he fought him right away.”
Foligno acknowledged he’s had a lot of ‘run-ins’ with Wilson, and when the Capitals tough man delivered that kind of hit in a preseason game, it irked the Wild winger. “It was one of those things where you live by the code,” Foligno said. “It’s crossing the line.”
