Foligno drew a five-minute charging penalty and a game misconduct for the hit. He left his skates near centre ice as Bellemare approached and drove his left elbow into the opponent’s face. The 32-year-old Buffalo, N.Y., native has one goal and six assists in 17 games this season. He has appeared in 858 games in 12-plus NHL seasons, producing 187 goals and 255 assists.
