MKR1300 and ESP8266

Hello,
I was able to set up my MKR1300 with LORA and my Gateway(none are in my area so I brought one) with no issues.

I am trying to now connect my MKR1300 to an ESP8266MOD with the goal of enabling wifi sniffing and pass this data back to TTN for Collos(Wifi Localization )

is it possible to power and communicate from the MKR1300 to the ESP8266?

my use case will deep sleep the MKR1300 and only connect to LORA and perform a Wifi Sniff once a day.
