Foucault was not tendered a qualifying offer with the Wild and was released as a free agent in the offseason. On July 3, 2014, he signed his first European contract, on a one-year deal with Austrian club, Vienna Capitals of the EBEL. [4] He completed the season ranked 13th in the league in scoring (54 games: 22 goals, 25 assists) and moved to Switzerland for the 2015–16 campaign: He split the season between the ZSC Lions of the top-flight National League A (NLA) and second-tier team GC Küsnacht Lions.

As a free agent, Foucault signed an improved contract, joining his fourth DEL club in as many seasons, agreeing to a two-year contract with the Iserlohn Roosters on May 21, 2021.
