Faulk (undisclosed) will not suit up Friday against Seattle, Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Faulk will miss his second straight game Friday. The 31-year-old recently missed five games with a lower-body issue but it's unclear if this is related. He has 19 points through 40 games this season.

Faulk won't play versus the Canucks on Wednesday and is considered day-to-day with an undisclosed injury, Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Faulk dealt with a lower-body injury earlier in January, but it's unclear if this issue is related. Scott Perunovich will take Faulk's spot in the lineup Wednesday.

Faulk posted an assist and four shots on net in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Faulk posted an assist in each of the last two games. The 31-year-old continues to handle big minutes on the blue line, averaging 22:17 of ice time this season while posting 19 points and 88 shots on net through 39 games. Faulk combined for 27 goals over the previous two seasons, but he's on track to fall well short of double digits this season since he has just two goals thus far.

Faulk (lower body) was activated off injured reserve Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Faulk is set to rejoin the team against Boston on Saturday following his five-game stint on the shelf due to his lower-body issue. Even with Faulk coming back, the Blues opted to send down a forward, Jakub Vrana, in a corresponding move, which means the club will be carrying eight blueliners for the time being. With Faulk back, Scott Perunovich is a strong candidate to be relegated to the press box as a healthy scratch.

Faulk (lower body) continues to make progress, but he hasn't taken contact yet and is consequently not expected to return Thursday versus the Rangers, per Lou Korac of NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

Faulk might still be an option for Saturday's game against Boston. The defenseman has two goals, 17 points, 45 hits and 68 blocks in 35 outings this season. When Faulk's healthy, he should resume serving in a top-four capacity and receive power-play ice time.

Faulk (lower body) has resumed skating, but he won't play Tuesday against the Panthers, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Faulk will miss a fourth straight contest with his lower-body issue. Another update on the veteran defender, who's collected 17 points through 35 games this season, should surface once he's poised to rejoin the lineup.

Faulk (lower body) will not make the trip to Carolina for Saturday's game versus the Hurricanes, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Faulk is expected to skate while the team is away and might be ready to practice Monday, which could open the door for him to return versus Florida on Tuesday. Still, that's a lot of ifs for fantasy players looking for some clarity on the blueliner's status. Prior to getting hurt, the Minnesota native recorded two goals and three assists, including two power-play points, in his previous seven contests and should offer decent offensive upside once cleared to return.

Faulk (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The move can be made retroactive to last Friday, which is when Faulk was last in the lineup, so the only contest he won't be eligible for is Thursday's game versus Vancouver. The 31-year-old has two goals and 17 points in 35 outings this year. When Faulk's healthy, he'll likely resume playing on the top four and receive significant power-play ice time.

Faulk (lower body) remains day-to-day and isn't expected to play Thursday versus Vancouver, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Blues are hoping Faulk will be able to resume skating within the next few days, at which point the team should be able to establish a more concrete timetable for his return. The 31-year-old defender has picked up two goals and 17 points through 35 games in a top-four role this year.

Faulk (lower body) will not play Saturday in Pittsburgh, Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

Faulk posted a minus-2 rating with four shots on goal in 23:28 of ice time during Friday's loss to Colorado. At some point, he picked up a lower-body injury and will stay in St. Louis to be evaluated. The team should have an update on his status before their Jan. 4 matchup against the Canucks. Tyler Tucker will likely draw into the lineup Saturday.
