IT USED TO be that Nick Foligno, after playing a game then flying at least an hour -- often to a city in a different time zone -- and busing to the team hotel, would stay up until 2 a.m. or later, despite having to play another game less than 18 hours later.
Now, as a 36-year-old father, Foligno proudly shares that he's usually in bed by 9 or 10 p.m. at the absolute latest.
Foligno is the oldest member of the Chicago Blackhawks, with more than a dozen players who are his junior by a decade or more.
