Faulk supplied a power-play assist in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
The Blues struck first thanks to a play that Faulk originally set up, but the Jets responded with four unanswered goals, and the veteran defenseman finished with a minus-2 rating. Still, Faulk is plus-25 on the season (a career high), and he's sprinkled in enough offense (six goals, 13 assists) to justify a roster spot in deep leagues.

The veteran defenseman is up to 14 points, 69 shots on net, 54 hits, 38 blocked shots, 23 PIM and a plus-18 rating in 29 contests overall.

Faulk notched an assist, four hits and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Faulk helped out on Jordan Kyrou's second-period marker. In six games since he returned from the COVID-19 protocols, Faulk has been solid with a goal, two assists and 15 hits. The defenseman remains a decent two-way presence in the top four with 13 points, 67 shots, 54 hits, 36 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating through 28 contests. As long as Scott Perunovich remains in the lineup, Faulk is unlikely to draw much power-play time, which could suppress his scoring output.

Faulk scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Faulk, playing in his first game back from a stint in the COVID-19 protocols, logged 22:55 of ice time in the contest. The 29-year-old was more effective than his stat line would indicate, as he brought his usual steady defense. He's up to five goals, six assists, 59 shots on net, 41 hits, 33 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating in 23 outings this season. With solid all-around production, Faulk can be helpful in most fantasy formats.

Faulk (COVID-19 protocols) was removed from the league's protocols Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The Blues have been playing shorthanded of late with a raft of injuries among the forward ranks. If Faulk is cleared to play versus Dallas on Tuesday, the team may at least have enough players available to dress 18 skaters, even if it means utilizing seven defensemen.
