Faulk (leg) will skip Sunday's game against the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Faulk was originally ruled out through the weekend, but the team announced Sunday that he would take the ice for warmups. While he did do that, the offensive-minded blueliner (34 points in 54 games) didn't participate in line rushes. As a result, the team will once again role with the six other healthy defensemen, but none provide the offensive upside of Faulk. His next chance to return now comes Tuesday against the Flyers.

Faulk (leg) will have a decision made on his status after taking warm up for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

Faulk was initially ruled out of Sunday's game, but it seems as though some unforeseen progress was made. With 15 goals this season, Faulk has already equaled his career-high for a single campaign, but has scored just once in his last 18 games.

EDGE Analysis

The news rules him out for both Friday and Sunday, leaving the Hurricanes without their top blueliner and just six healthy ones as they prepare to face a couple tough matchups in the Sharks and Lightning. Coach Bill Peters indicated that the Hurricanes will be smart about the way they handle Faulk's injury, so it's not a big surprise their going the precautionary route considering the team's placement in the standings. He'll now aim for a return Tuesday against the Flyers, but the team should update his status again before puck drop.

EDGE Analysis

While the news officially rules out Faulk for Thursday's game against the Senators, he hasn't been dismissed as an option Friday, when the team returns home to take on the Sharks. However, Peters stressed that they are going to make sure they handle the blueliner's situation correctly to avoid further damage, and the team has no reason to rush him back. It's probably best to consider him questionable for Friday's game at this point, but the team should update his status again as the date approaches. In the meantime, the Hurricanes will continue to run with their six other healthy defensemen.

EDGE Analysis

Faulk missed back-to-back games, including a home win against the Islanders this past Saturday. He'll reportedly attempt to go through a full practice Wednesday, and that should give the team a good indication of his readiness to play the day after. It's rare for a defenseman to lead his team in points, but that's precisely what Faulk is doing at the moment, brushing twine 15 times with 19 helpers to boot. Unfortunately, he also carries a minus-13 rating which is tied with forward Brock McGinn for the worst mark of any Hurricane.

Faulk skipped each of the last two games for the Hurricanes due to the leg issue, but it sounds as though he's still in consideration for Tuesday. The blueliner has been a solid all-around presence for the Hurricanes and fantasy owner alike this season, providing 34 points and 163 shots on goal offensively, blocking 55 shots on the defensive end and adding 100 hits to bring some added physical elements. The team should update his status again on gameday, but his return fortunately appears right around the corner either way.
