The Boston Bruins have signed free agent forward Nick Foligno to a two-year contract with an annual cap hit of $3.8 million, general manager Don Sweeney announced Wednesday.
In addition to him feeling like Boston "was the right fit," Foligno told TSN during an interview that there was "a family element" to his choosing the Bruins on Wednesday.
Foligno's daughter, Milana, had successful heart surgery at Boston Children's Hospital in 2018 after she came down with a virus when she was 5 years old. She also had a procedure done at the hospital in 2013 after she was born with a heart defect.
