• Blues' Justin Faulk: Generates assist

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Faulk notched an assist, five blocked shots, two hits, two PIM and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Maple Leafs. Faulk snapped a four-game point drought with his helper on Dylan Holloway's empty-net tally. The 32-year-old Faulk had four points over his first three games of the year before turning cold. He's still seeing massive minutes in all situations, including on the first power-play unit, though the continued success of Philip Broberg could impact Faulk down the line. Faulk is at five points, seven shots on net, 16 hits, 15 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through eight appearances.

  Faulk notched a power-play assist, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Golden Knights. Faulk has a goal and three assists, including two power-play helpers, over the first three games of the season. The defenseman led all Blues skaters with 25:53 of ice time in this contest, and that may be a regular thing since he's displayed the most scoring upside from the blue line this season. The veteran defenseman has added five blocked shots, three hits and four shots on net.

  Faulk scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Sharks. Faulk again came up clutch after a two-assist game in the season opener.

The 32-year-old defenseman has added two shots on net, three hits, two blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over two contests so far. Faulk's well on his way to surpassing his 30-point campaign from 2023-24 as he plays a significant all-situations role this season.

• Blues' Justin Faulk: Two helpers in comeback win

  25D ago • By RotoWire

  Faulk recorded two assists and two hits in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Kraken. The Blues scored three times over a span of 1:55 in the second period, and Faulk assisted on the first two goals during that flurry. The 32-year-old defenseman was limited to 30 points, 104 blocked shots and 83 hits over 60 contests in 2023-24 after missing time with various injuries. He's fully healthy to begin 2024-25, and he'll be picking up some of the scoring slack created in the absence of Torey Krug (ankle). Faulk's spot on the top power-play unit could help him get back over the 40-point mark for the fourth time in his career.

• Blues' Justin Faulk: Lights lamp on power play

  10/02/2024 • By RotoWire

  Faulk scored a power-play goal on two shots, blocked three shots and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 3-1 preseason loss to the Blue Jackets. Torey Krug (ankle) will miss all of 2024-25, leaving an opening on the Blues' top power-play unit. Faulk appears to have the inside track for that role, one he hasn't filled on a regular basis since 2018-19 with the Hurricanes. In 2023-24, Faulk produced just two goals, 30 points, 104 blocked shots, 83 hits and 132 shots on net over 60 contests while battling a handful of injuries. If he can stay healthy and receive steady power-play time over the likes of Scott Perunovich and Philip Broberg, Faulk makes for a strong sleeper candidate in fantasy drafts.
