Faulk (upper body) has not been ruled out Tuesday and remains day-to-day, Chip Alexander of the Raleigh News & Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Bill Peters seems more optimistic that Faulk could be ready Friday against Montreal, but refused to rule the blueliner out against the Sharks on Tuesday. Carolina will need to active Faulk off injured reserve before he can suit up, so look for an update from the team once he has been cleared to return.
