Faulk scored a goal on two shots, adding three hits and one block in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Faulk staked the Blues to a 2-1 lead with a brilliant effort early in the second period, stickhandling his way through the offensive zone before beating Darcy Kuemper five-hole. It was Faulk's third goal of the season but his first in the last seven games. Faulk was a consistent 30-point scorer over his last six seasons in Carolina but has been unable to find that same level of production since joining the Blues. He had 16 points in 69 games last season and has four through 10 outings in 2020-21.

Faulk notched an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Faulk hasn't done much offensively this year, as the assist was just his third point in nine contests. He's been stronger in the peripheral metrics, with an impressive plus-11 rating, 24 shots on goal, 34 hits and 11 blocked shots. The 28-year-old had a stretch of six seasons at 30 or more points before stumbling to just 16 points in 69 outings last year. His role in St. Louis is more defensive, but he can still put up decent all-around numbers.

Faulk scored twice on a game-high eight shots in Monday's 5-4 win over the Sharks. He added two PIM and three hits with a plus-2 rating.
EDGE Analysis
Faulk filled up the scoresheet in this one, including even-strength goals to open and close the second period. His first goal came after he jumped out of the penalty box and found the net with a snapshot from the top of the right faceoff circle, getting the Blues on the board. Faulk added his second with a minute left in the frame to give St. Louis a 4-3 lead. Faulk had just 16 points in 69 games last year, his first in St. Louis, but had eclipsed the 30-point mark in each of his previous six seasons.

Faulk registered an assist in Sunday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Stars in the round robin.
EDGE Analysis
Faulk picked up his first point in three games. He added eight hits, four shots and a plus-3 rating during the round-robin round. Faulk had arguably the worst season of his career with 16 points in 69 games, largely due to his reduction in usage. He skated 1:51 less per game overall, and saw his power-play time drop from 2:56 to 1:05 per outing in 2019-20.

Faulk posted an assist, four shots on goal, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Faulk got the puck to Alex Pietrangelo, who buried a long empty-net goal in the third period. The assist was just Faulk's second point in six games -- inconsistency has plagued the veteran blueliner all year. His 16 points in 69 games represent a career-low production rate. He's added 147 shots, 82 hits and 76 blocks.

Faulk (upper body) will play in Monday's game against the Panthers, Jim Thomas of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old missed the past two games with the upper-body issue, but he'll return on the team's third defensive pair. Faulk has been a decent contributor for the Blues, producing 15 points across 20:35 of ice time in 67 games this season.

Contrary to a previous report, Faulk (upper body) will be a game-time call for Monday's game against the Panthers, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Faulk was expected to sit out the contest, however, coach Craig Berube said Faulk will take warmups and is expected to play. The 27-year-old would be a nice boost to the lineup after missing the past two games. Expect the official word on Faulk's status prior to Monday's 8:00 ET puck drop.

Faulk (upper body) is set to be unavailable versus Florida on Monday, per Louie Korac of NHL.com.
EDGE Analysis
Considering the club was entering a back-to-back, Faulk figured to be a long shot for Monday's contest after being on the shelf versus Chicago on Sunday. With the blueliner unavailable, Robert Bortuzzo figures to make his third straight appearance in the lineup.
