By scoring 12 of Carolina's 20 power-play goals this season, Faulk is on his way to setting an NHL record, according to the league's website. No player since Pavel Bure (2000-01) and Brett Hull (1990-91) have scored more than 41% of their team's goals with the man advantage.
EDGE Analysis
Pretty impressive stuff for the 23-year-old rearguard who is proving to be one of the few bright spots - maybe even the only one - on an otherwise dismal Carolina team this season. His power-play prowess aside, Faulk's value to the Canes simply cannot be overstated. He plays in all situations, leading the team in overall ice time per game (25:07) and on the power play (3:23), and he's second in shorthanded minutes (2:18). He has nine points in his last eight games and leads the Canes in scoring for the second straight season. In fact, his 27 points in 34 games rank him fourth in scoring among NHL defensemen, and he's third in shots on goal with 102. Bottom line, Faulk is emerging as an elite, multi-category fantasy stud who should never be out of your lineup as long as he's healthy.
