About Marcus Foligno

Marcus Foligno is an American-Canadian professional ice hockey player who is a winger and alternate captain for the Minnesota Wild of the National Hockey League (NHL). Nicknamed "Moose", he was selected 104th overall by the Buffalo Sabres in the 2009 NHL entry draft. Like his brother Nick, Marcus Foligno used their father's "Foligno Leap" as his first career goal celebration. Foligno spent an additional two seasons with the Wolves, with his best coming during the 2010–11 season, in which he recorded 23 goals and 59 points in 47 games. Foligno scored his first career goal at 14:06 in the third period, which tied the game; Buffalo eventually won the game in a shootout. However, on Marcus' first goal, he was unsure he actually scored.
