The Minnesota Wild placed forward Marcus Foligno in NHL COVID-19 protocol on Monday and recalled Mitchell Chaffee from the AHL's Iowa Wild.

Foligno has a career-high 22 goals and 39 points in 71 games this season. The 30-year-old will miss the team's next three games, starting Tuesday against the Montreal Canadiens.

 


New York Rangers

The New York Rangers announced Monday that forward Kaapo Kakko is out week-to-week with a lower-body injury. 

In the first period of Saturday's matchup with the Red Wings, the 21-year-old was tangled up with Detroit's Tyler Bertuzzi in the corner and fell back awkwardly on his right leg. He went to the dressing room and did not return to the bench for the second period. He was ruled out for the afternoon shortly after as the Rangers went on to win 4-0.

Saturday marked his fourth game back after missing 31 games earlier this season with an upper-body injury. Kakko has seven goals and nine assists in 40 games so far this season, his third in the Big Apple after being selected No. 2 overall in 2019.


Montreal Canadiens

Goaltender Carey Price told reporters Monday he felt pretty good after Friday's return against the New York Islanders, tweets TSN John Lu.

How many games Price will play before the end of the season is up in the air, with Price adding he still has work to do on his conditioning. He added he is unlikely to participate in the men's World Championship, scheduled for next month in Finland. Forward Nick Suzuki said he would consider playing if asked.

Meanwhile, Canadiens defenceman Jeff Petry took a maintenance day Monday at practice, the team announced.

Petry missed time from late March to early April with a lower-body injury.
