Justin Faulk News



Faulk has missed the last five games, but will be back in the lineup today vs. the Bruins. He has three goals and 20 assists in 61 games this season. Mike Komisarek will come out.

Faulk has missed the last five games since suffering an upper-body injured on March 2nd. If Faulk returns, Mike Komisarek would likely be the odd-man out. Faulk has 23 points (3G / 20A) with a minus-4 rating in 61 games this season.

Faulk has missed the last four games with an upper-body injury he suffered on March 2nd in Anaheim. He took part in the Hurricanes' optional skate on Tuesday, but this is his first full practice back with the team. His status for Thursday's game remains unknown, so monitor his availability for tomorrow's game-day skate.

Faulk will miss his fourth straight game with an upper body injury that he suffered last Sunday. He is listed as day-to-day so Thursday vs. Buffalo could be a possible return date for the 21-year-old defenseman.

Faulk will not play Friday or Saturday, but monitor his status before Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

Regardless, Faulk is still questionable for Friday and Saturday's contest.

Faulk was injured in the first period of Sunday's loss to the Ducks. Expect him to miss at least Friday and Saturday's games and then be re-evaluated after that. The Hurricanes have recalled Ryan Murphy from Charlotte (AHL).

Faulk left Sunday's contest after playing just 1:46. The Hurricanes ruled out a concussion, but whatever the injury, Faulk will miss the next week and a half (roughly 5 games). Mike Komisarek will slide into the Hurricanes lineup while Faulk is sidelined.

Safe to say the Canes need him and have missed him.

Faulk will miss his fifth straight game tonight and likely his sixth tomorrow. Monitor his status prior to Thursday and Saturday's game.

This is a tough break for the Hurricanes, who have lost four games in a row. Faulk has three goals and seven assists in 29 games this season. There is just over five weeks left in the regular season, so Faulk will miss the rest of the Fantasy regular season.

Faulk did not return to the game and Canes coach Kirk Muller did not have an update on the injury after the game, but there were a lot of very somber looks in the locker room. Faulk has 10 points and a plus-3 in 28 games this season.

Faulk missed the Canes last game, but looks like he could be back in the lineup tonight. He plays top-pair minutes on a good Carolina team, he may be a sneaky good fantasy D-man this season.

Faulk missed the Canes last game against the Bruins but appears like he could be back tomorrow against the Senators. Monitor his status for tomorrow's game.

Faulk could be dropped in many leagues and could be a worthwhile pickup for his return. He is seeing top-pair minutes in Carolina.

Schultz was on average a 14th round pick so wait to see if there is an update on his current DTD status. Pitkanen and McBain should be the beneficiaries of any missed time from Faulk.

Faulk has been logging top-pair minutes on the Hurricanes blueline this season so this is a big loss for the Canes who play a strong Bruins team tonight. Consider him day-to-day.

Corvo and Faulk appear to be the D-men to own if you want some of the Canes' powerplay.

Faulk moves up to the top power play unit in only his second game under Muller. The organization has high hopes for him so expect a solid amount of minutes.
