Faulk (upper body) is expected to play Friday against the Blues, Sara Civian of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Faulk hasn't missed a contest all season, and this injury certainly doesn't sound serious enough to keep the power-play defenseman from the challenge of countering a Blues team that has rattled off eight wins in its past 10 games. He's added seven goals, 16 assists and seven man-advantage points through 63 games of his eighth NHL season.
