The Minnesota Wild and Chicago Blackhawks will be facing off tonight at 7 PM in the United Center.

Nick Foligno, hosted a family dinner for his brother who was in town to play his brother on the opposing squad today.

The Minnesota Wild and Blackhawks have a fierce rivalry, which dates back a little more than a decade ago:

Minnesota Wild. The Blackhawks-Wild rivalry started when the two teams met in the 2013 Western Conference quarterfinals. The Blackhawks won in five games in that series en route to their fifth Stanley Cup.

It's remained healthy, and even more so since Bedard's arrival in Chicago.

So the two brothers met up had a dinner, and Marcus was there for dinner, and Nck made sure that Marcus was more than full during dinner.

In fact the Blackhawks Captain made sure to try and fatten up his brother, so Sunday he'd be one less body to deal with on the ice.

Hilariously, Foligno admits to this himself:

Uncle Marcus afterward played "mini-sticks" with his nieces and nephew, and Moose would obviously lose at least one game, if he's a good uncle.

If you had no idea what Mini-Stick's is, here's TSN's Jesse Pollock showing you the do's and don'ts of the game.

Marcus got into a fight with Jared Tinordi last February, and if you doubt Nick's dedication he put it in simple terms.

"That's the way Marcus plays and that's what Tinner brings to our team. I think both teams were trying to find emotion in this game tonight and they did a hell of a job. And Tinner, man he threw some bombs tonight."

Sure, Marcus is Nick's brother, but Nick's allegiance lies with whatever jersey he's wearing first and foremost.

"It's never easy or fun to watch, but at the end of the day, it's my teammate over there so I'm cheering him on," Nick said before cracking a joke: "We'll discuss that in the summer."
