Faulk entered the All-Star break with just three points and a minus-5 rating in his last 15 games.
EDGE Analysis
It would be easy to dismiss Faulk's early season success (30 points in his first 36 games) as a fluke, but make no mistake -- Faulk is for real. He's still seeing a lot of ice time, averaging just under 25 minutes per game, and he shoots the puck a TON -- in fact, his 154 shots rank second among NHL defensemen (Brent Burns is first with 205). He still has a shot at a 50+ point season, which would be no small feat on an offensively-challenged team like the Canes. He's that good. And he needs to be in your lineup at every opportunity.
