Blues' Justin Faulk: Lights lamp on power play
Justin 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 St. Louis 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.
