Faulk supplied an assist, four shots on goal and five hits in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Faulk was all over the ice in this one, and he was rewarded with the helped on center Ryan O'Reilly's empty-net goal. The defenseman added two PIM, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating, as well. Faulk now has 11 points, 84 shots and 18 PIM through 37 games in his first season with the Blues.

Faulk scored the game-winning goal on five shots, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Faulk's tally at 17:34 of the third period gave the Blues their first lead of the night, fully erasing a previous 3-0 deficit. The defenseman has struggled to adjust to his new team, with just nine points, 67 shots on goal and a minus-5 rating in 34 contests this season. His 0.26 points-per-game are currently a career low, but he has two points in his last two outings. Perhaps he's on the verge of heating up, but fantasy owners will want to see more proof from the 27-year-old.

Faulk scored a goal on three shots and had two PIM in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Faulk joined St. Louis prior to the 2019-20 season after averaging 14 goals over the previous four seasons with Carolina, but he hasn't been able to replicate that productivity with the Blues. Saturday's goal was his first of the season and came in in his 28th game. On top of it, Faulk has produced only six assists so far for St. Louis. The 27-year-old is too talented and too experienced to stay this quiet, so keep an eye on him to see if his first goal sparks more offense.

Faulk fired three shots on net and dished out three hits in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Faulk posted five straight seasons with 30-plus points before being traded to St. Louis and signing a long-term extension. The Blues haven't seen the same production, as Faulk has yet to light the lamp and has just six helpers through 21 contests, putting him on pace for 23 points. According to Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic, coach Craig Berube attributes Faulk's slow start to playing with a new squad and in a new role. Faulk was a consistent top-four defenseman in Carolina, but now he rotates and even spends time on the bottom pairing, averaging 20:22 per contest. Whether the 27-year-old's able to contribute more offensively going forward remains to be seen, but his 52.1 Corsi For percentage is a reason for optimism.

Faulk managed an assist, four blocked shots and two hits in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Faulk's contribution to the offense came on Robert Thomas' second-period goal. It's been a bit of a slow adjustment to the Blues for the 27-year-old, who is up to six helpers in 17 games. Faulk topped 30 points in each of the last six campaigns, but he also never skated less than an average of 22 minutes per game in any season with the Hurricanes. He's averaging only 20:39 in 2019-20, which could account for some of his struggles on offense.

Faulk recorded an assist, a shot on net and a hit in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win against the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

This was Faulk's fifth assist of the season, and one of those came with the man advantage. Faulk's scoring is down through the first 15 games, as he's averaging 0.33 points per contest after he accumulated 0.43 over the 2018-19 campaign. He continues to start 54.7 percent of his shifts in the offensive zone, however, so the success should follow at some point.

Faulk will play on the third defensive pairing alongside Vince Dunn in Thursday's game against the Canucks, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Faulk has fit in decently with the Blues, but they're still trying to figure out their top and bottom pairings -- Colton Parayko and Jay Bouwmeester are locked in as the second unit. He's contributing offensively with two assists and 14 shots on net over six games, and now he'll be paired with a puck-moving blueliner for the time being.

The Hurricanes traded Faulk and a 2020 fifth-round pick to the Blues in exchange for Joel Edumndson, Dominik Bokk and a 2021 seventh-round pick Tuesday. Faulk has also signed a seven-year, $45.5 million contract extension with St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

The Hurricanes have an embarrassment of riches at defense, so it was really just a matter of when not if Faulk would be traded. The Blues already have two fantastic right-handed defensemen in Alex Pietrangelo and Colton Parayko, so at this point it isn't clear where Faulk will fit in their lineup, but he'll undoubtedly have a major role at even strength and on the man advantage with his new club in 2019-20. The 27-year-old American should be good for double-digit goals and 35-plus points this season.

The Hurricanes have a deal in place that would send Faulk to the Ducks, Luke DeCock of the Raleigh News and Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Faulk's contract includes a limited no-trade clause, and Anaheim isn't one of his 15 preapproved teams, so the ball's in his court now. If he ends up approving the trade, it will likely come with a long-term extension with the Ducks. Either way, it's clear that the Hurricanes have been actively shopping the 27-year-old blueliner since signing Jake Gardiner to a four-year deal Friday, so at this point it seems more likely than not that Faulk will be putting on a different jersey this season.

Faulk registered two assists and seven hits in Friday's 5-2 win over the Islanders in Game 4.

EDGE Analysis

One of Faulk's helpers came on Sebastian Aho's power-play goal in the first period. Faulk has provided six points and 38 hits through 11 playoff games, and he's one of the top defensemen remaining for fantasy purposes.
