The Chicago Blackhawks signed Nick Foligno to a two-year, $9 million contract extension. This comes as the left wing was set to become an unrestricted free agent during the summer. He joined Chicago on a one-year, $4 million deal during the 2023 offseason after departing the Boston Bruins.
“The impact Nick has already had on our team in such a short time is a testament to his work ethic and dedication to helping the players around him succeed,” Blackhawks general manager Kyle Davidson commented. “Hardworking on the ice, the energy he brings every night and his versatility to play in any situation have been tremendous assets.”
Foligno has scored 542 points (223 goals, 319 assists) in 1,120 career games, previously playing for the Ottawa Senators, Columbus Blue Jackets, and Toronto Maple Leafs. This season, Foligno has scored 17 points (eight goals, nine assists) in 39 regular-season games.
