The Minnesota Wild have placed veteran forward Nick Foligno on injured reserve with an upper-body injury and recalled top prospect Rieger Lorenz from the AHL. Following a 3-2 defeat to the Tampa Bay Lightning, head coach John Hynes confirmed Foligno will miss at least a week, including Saturday's matchup against the Florida Panthers.
