The Blackhawks had been signaling for a while that they planned to re-sign Nick Foligno, and they did exactly that Friday.
Foligno, who has become the team’s de facto captain in short order since a trade last summer from the Bruins, inked a two-year contract extension that carries a $4.5 million salary-cap hit, representing a small raise over the $4 million he’s making this season.
