Faulk (leg) has been ruled out through the weekend game.

EDGE Analysis

The news rules him out for both Friday and Sunday, leaving the Hurricanes without their top blueliner and just six healthy ones as they prepare to face a couple tough matchups in the Sharks and Lightning. Coach Bill Peters indicated that the Hurricanes will be smart about the way they handle Faulk's injury, so it's not a big surprise their going the precautionary route considering the team's placement in the standings. He'll now aim for a return Tuesday against the Flyers, but the team should update his status again before puck drop.
