Faulk scored a goal on two shots, added six hits and blocked two shots in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Jets in Game 4.
EDGE Analysis
Faulk snapped a 13-game goal drought, during which he had just two assists, when he scored late in the second period. Those two helpers came in the playoff opener, so he's earned three points with seven shots on net, 13 hits, five blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over four postseason outings. Faulk continues to play in a top-four role and on the second power-play unit, which gives him a chance to be a decent all-around contributor.

Faulk notched two assists, two shots on goal, four hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Jets in Game 1.
EDGE Analysis
One of Faulk's helpers came on the power play. The 33-year-old defenseman ended the regular season on a 10-game skid, so this was a good performance to get him on track at the start of the playoffs. Despite that slump, he finished the regular season with 32 points (12 on the power play), 124 shots on net, 108 blocked shots, 82 hits and a minus-9 rating over 78 appearances. Faulk will play a top-four role and should also continue to see time on the second power-play unit during the postseason.

Faulk scored a goal, dished an assist and fired three shots on net in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Faulk's goal was the Blues' third tally of the game and was off feeds from Jake Neighbours and Robert Thomas. Faulk then assisted Brayden Schenn's empty-net tally in the closing minute of regulation. The 33-year-old Faulk now has four goals, 32 points, 109 shots on net and 96 blocks in 68 appearances this season. While Faulk was a bit stagnant on offense earlier this season, he is currently firing on all cylinders with nine points in his last seven games. In this stretch, he has three multi-point games and seven helpers. Faulk's emergence offensively has helped St. Louis navigate this stretch of the season without the injured Colton Parayko (knee). Faulk is a top option on the waiver wire in all formats.

Faulk scored a power-play goal, added an assist and blocked four shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Faulk logged his second straight multi-point effort, and he has a goal and six helpers over his last six outings. His goal opened the scoring at 6:04 of the first period and set up Jake Neighbours' game-winning tally prior to the intermission. Faulk is up to three goals, 29 points (12 on the power play), 105 shots on net, 93 blocked shots, 74 hits and a minus-7 rating through 65 appearances. He remains a strong option for fantasy managers to add while Colton Parayko (knee) is out.

Faulk logged two assists and two PIM in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Faulk is surging with five helpers over his last five games. Three of those helpers have come on the power play, including both of his assists Sunday. The 32-year-old is up to 27 points, 104 shots on net, 89 blocked shots, 74 hits and a minus-8 rating through 64 appearances. Faulk is almost guaranteed a large role down the stretch, and so far, he's done an excellent job of replicating the production the Blues lost when Colton Parayko (knee) was shut down for six weeks from March 6.

Faulk recorded an assist, four shots on goal, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Faulk has three helpers over his last four games and six assists across his last 10 outings. The 32-year-old defenseman is taking on heavier defensive minutes in the absence of Colton Parayko (knee), but that extra ice time could also help Faulk put up more points. For the season, he's at 25 points, 104 shots on net, 74 hits, 89 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating through 63 contests. His all-around production has value in fantasy even though he's nowhere near his 50-point campaign from 2022-23.

Faulk notched an assist and four blocked shots in Friday's 4-3 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Faulk ended a four-game slump with the helper. He has four assists over his last seven outings, but he'll likely be asked to do more overall with Colton Parayko (knee) out for the rest of the regular season. Faulk is at 23 points, 97 shots on net, 84 blocked shots, 68 hits and a minus-10 rating through 60 appearances. Faulk's playing style is probably the best match to Parayko's on the Blues' roster, and they'll have to keep their playoff push alive from within after the team made no moves at the trade deadline.

Faulk logged an assist and blocked four shots in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Faulk has three helpers over his last two contests following a six-game slump. The 32-year-old blueliner helped out on the first of Zachary Bolduc's two tallies in this contest. While offense has come and gone at times for Faulk this season, he still has a reasonable 22 points with 89 shots on net, 62 hits, 79 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating through 55 outings overall while seeing time in the top four and on the power play.

Faulk notched two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Faulk ended a six-game point drought when he helped out on Brayden Schenn's equalizer midway through the second period. Toward the end of the frame, Faulk set up Dylan Holloway for the Blues' third goal. It's been a bit of a rough year for Faulk, who has been limited to 21 points with 89 shots on net, 62 hits, 75 blocked shots and a minus-13 rating over 54 appearances. He had 30 points in 60 outings last year, and while his raw production may exceed that mark in 2024-25, the per-game pace is likely to be lower. He contributes enough all around to be rostered in most fantasy formats, but he's not a must-have blueliner.

Faulk registered an even-strength assist, two shots on goal and three hits in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Faulk logged the secondary helper on Robert Thomas' 12th goal of the campaign in the third period. The 32-year-old Faulk has chipped in five assists through eight games in January, but he's been held without a marker since Dec. 31. It'll be worth monitoring how head coach Jim Montgomery deploys his power-play units going forward -- Faulk and Cam Fowler are both capable of quarterbacking the top group, but NHL clubs typically don't utilize two blueliners with the man advantage. For the season, Faulk is up to two goals, 18 points, 16 PIM, 74 shots on net and a minus-11 rating while averaging 22:49 of ice time through 45 appearances.
