Welcome back, captain.
Nick Foligno will be back in the Blue Jackets' lineup tonight when they face the New York Islanders at Nationwide Arena. John Tortorella confirmed the news today as the team took the ice for its morning skate.
Foligno has been away from the team since Mar. 16 to tend to a family emergency. The club has not offered more specifics other than to say the matter did not pertain to his daughter, Milana's previous surgery.

Having Foligno back tonight is great news for the team, but more importantly, it's hopefully a sign of good news for the family.
Foligno has 16 goals and 14 assists in 66 games this season, primarily playing on a line with Boone Jenner and Josh Anderson.
