Wild's Foligno aims for redemption in must-win Game 6 against Stars

Minnesota Wild left wing Marcus Foligno hopes to redeem himself in Game 6 after being penalized in previous games. League officials have indicated that both of Foligno's minor penalties in Game 4 shouldn't have been penalties, and the Department of Player Safety didn't discipline him for his kneeing major on Radek Faksa early in Game 5. The Wild must win Game 6 to stay in the NHL playoffs. The team is also dealing with lineup decisions and injuries, while the Dallas Stars' Joe Pavelski is a game-time decision.

Wild's Foligno Ejected for Knee Hit in Game 5 Loss to Stars.

Minnesota Wild forward Marcus Foligno was given a five-minute major and ejected from the game for kneeing Dallas Stars forward Radek Faksa in Game Five of the playoffs. The hit occurred in the first period, and Faksa was helped off the ice but eventually returned to play. Wild head coach Dean Evason disagreed with the call, while Dallas head coach Pete DeBoer said they came into the series knowing Minnesota likes to sit in the sin bin a lot. The Stars’ power play is operating at over 40 percent effectiveness on 22 opportunities. Minnesota will need a win on home ice in Game Six to stay alive in the series.
