Faulk will suit up Tuesday against San Jose, Chip Alexander of the Raleigh News & Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Faulk was sidelined for the last three contests, but will return to the lineup Tuesday. Prior to the injury, the defenseman was left off the scoresheet in each of the Canes previous three matchups, but should be able to end his scoring drought soon. Given the lack of scoring from the back end, Faulk will likely resume his spot on the Carolina power play as one of the only offensively-minded blueliners on the team.
