Faulk notched two assists, three shots on goal and a minus-3 rating in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Faulk helped out on goals by Pavel Buchnevich and Jordan Kyrou, with the latter's tally coming on the power play. This was Faulk's first game back after missing two due to an upper-body injury. The defenseman has six points over his last four outings, and he also earned his first power-play point since Dec. 10. For the season, the 32-year-old has 15 points, 68 shots on net, 48 hits, 52 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating over 38 appearances, but it looks like his offense is coming around.

Faulk (upper body) will return to the lineup Tuesday versus Minnesota, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Faulk missed two games due to his injury, but he'll be available for an important divisional game in Minnesota. Faulk could be eased back into action Tuesday, as he's projected to slot in on the third pairing alongside Tyler Tucker. Scott Perunovich will be a healthy scratch now that Faulk is healthy.

Faulk (undisclosed) won't play Friday versus the Senators, Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Faulk was labeled a game-time decision after missing the morning skate. He will end up missing at least one game with the injury. Cam Fowler and Scott Perunovich figure to handle power-play duties during Faulk's absence.

Faulk will be a game-time decision against the Senators on Friday with an undisclosed injury.
EDGE Analysis
Faulk was unable to participate in Friday's game-day skate and will need to be further evaluated ahead of puck drop. While the blueliner is coming off a three-point performance versus Chicago on Dec. 31, that outing followed a 34-game goal drought during which he managed just seven helpers. If Faulk can't play Friday, Ryan Suter figures to step into the lineup in his stead.

Faulk scored a goal and added two assists in a 6-2 victory over Chicago at the Winter Classic on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Faulk slapped a one-timer in the second period from inside the blue line that went straight through traffic; it stood as the winner. Faulk has four points, including three assists, in his last three games and 13 points (two goals, 11 assists) in 37 games overall. His fantasy value took a bit of a hit with the recent arrival of Cam Fowler, who took over the reins on PP1 and shuffled all other defenders down the depth chart. Faulk is headed toward a triple-digit season in shots, blocks and hits, so he may still offer value in deep formats.

Faulk notched an assist and two PIM in Friday's 7-4 win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Faulk has earned three helpers over his last 10 contests. The 32-year-old helped out on Zachary Bolduc's first-period tally. Faulk has not done a lot on offense this season, and while he held a spot on the first power-play unit for much of the campaign, the Blues' trade for Cam Fowler has bumped Faulk down the hierarchy for that role. Faulk is at 10 points, 60 shots on net, 50 blocked shots, 48 hits and a minus-6 rating over 35 appearances.

Faulk notched an assist and three hits in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Faulk has two helpers over six outings since he returned from an upper-body injury that cost him two games. He remains in a prominent role, with top-four minutes and power-play time, and it doesn't look like the Blues' trade for Cam Fowler will hurt Faulk's usage. Still, Faulk has struggled a bit this year with nine points, 53 shots on net, 38 hits, 47 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating over 31 appearances, and the change in head coaches from Drew Bannister to Jim Montgomery hasn't had much of an effect on Faulk's production.

Faulk logged an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
This was Faulk's second game back after he missed two contests due to an upper-body injury. He has three helpers over his last four games, a vast improvement on his slump that lasted for nearly all of November. The 32-year-old blueliner is at eight points, 51 shots on net, 31 hits, 42 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating through 27 outings overall.
