The team is bolstered by many rookies and promotions from the AHL, and NHLers like Foligno assist them along the way.
Since Taylor Hall and Andreas Athanasiou's injuries, Foligno has been Connor Bedard's most consistent linemate. As a result, he has been excited about the opportunity.
A five-point night was had by Connor Bedard last night against the Anaheim Ducks, who scored his 20th goal.
Additionally, Foligno recorded four assists.
Between shifts, Foligno and Bedard were recorded on the bench.
Nick Foligno however shared a humorous, but truthful moment while mentoring on the bench.
He said
«There's so much to teach you. I don't have enough contract time.»
Nick Foligno and Connor Bedard are pure comedy

Foligno has been an excellent mentor to Bedard, despite him becoming a UFA at the end of the season. Kyle Davidson should bring him back another year to help Connor Bedard in his sophomore season, we hope.
With Foligno's statement, we hope Davidson learns how much he loves Chicago.
