Foligno's knees Lowry in the head; Suspension incoming

Marcus Foligno played for the Minnesota Wild against the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday, but maybe he shouldn't have.

After missing two games due to an upper-body injury, the forward returned to the lineup for the Wild. Midway through the first period, Foligno got into a heated battle with Brenden Dillon after taking a shoulder from him. The hit sparked a confrontation at center ice between Foligno and Winnipeg's Adam Lowry, and teammate Jordan Greenway and Dillion.

After Foligno wrestled Lowry to the ground, he appears to knee him in the head and putting pressure on his head/chest area.
