What happened: Marcus and Nick Foligno said they have reached their fundraising goal for a breast cancer research grant in Minnesota, honoring their late mother, Janis. The update is tied to their season-long "Foligno Face-Off" effort through Hockey Fights Cancer with the NHL, NHLPA and the V Foundation.

Why it matters: This is off-ice news, but it extends one of the NHL's higher-profile player-led cancer initiatives and gives the campaign a concrete milestone beyond awareness. It also lands while the Minnesota Wild remain active in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, keeping added attention on the brothers and the cause.

What to watch: Watch for details on the grant recipient and any follow-up announcement on how the funds will be deployed in Minnesota research. On the ice, Minnesota is scheduled to host Colorado in Game 4 of its second-round series on Monday, May 11, 2026.
