Faksa (lower body) is good to play Friday versus Florida, according to Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Faksa, who has two goals and seven points in 29 appearances in 2024-25, missed the Blues' previous five games. He's projected to serve on the fourth line alongside Oskar Sundqvist and Zachary Bolduc. Mathieu Joseph will probably be a healthy scratch due to Faksa's return.

Faksa (lower body) is considered a game-time decision for Friday's game against the Panthers, Lou Korac of The Hockey News reports. Faksa has missed the last five games due to a lower-body injury, and although the team initially expressed optimism that he'd be available in the second half of a back-to-back set Friday, the Blues apparently want to see how he feels in the hours leading up to the game. Over 29 appearances this season, Faksa has logged two goals, five assists, 46 hits, 20 blocked shots and 14 PIM while averaging 13:02 of ice time.

Faksa (lower body) will not play in Tampa Bay on Thursday, according to Lou Korac of The Hockey News. Faksa will miss his fifth straight game, but the good news is that he is expected to return to the lineup Friday in Florida. Faksa has two goals and seven points over 29 appearances this season.

Faksa (lower body) won't be available against New Jersey on Tuesday, but head coach Jim Montgomery told reporters, "He's getting closer. Real good sign today," per Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic. Faksa seems to have a decent chance of cracking the lineup against the Lightning on Thursday, though he hasn't been officially cleared yet. Prior to getting hurt, the veteran center was stuck in an 11-game goal drought during which he recorded a meager 14 shots while chipping in three helpers. Given his offensive limitation, few fantasy players figure to be anxiously awaiting his return to action.

Faksa (lower body) won't play in Sunday's game against the Rangers, per Lou Korac of NHL.com. Faksa will miss his third straight outing after being cut by a skate. He has two goals, seven points, 30 shots on net, 20 blocked shots and 46 hits through 29 appearances this season. Brandon Saad will replace Faksa in Sunday's lineup, and Oskar Sundqvist will be a healthy scratch.
