Prior to a contrary report, Faulk missed Friday's game against the Devils with an upper-body injury, Tom Timmermann of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Faulk was initially believed to be out due to an illness. Faulk's absence allowed Robert Bortuzzo to enter the lineup -- that arrangement will likely continue as long as the former is unavailable. The Blues' next game is Sunday in Chicago.
