Blues' Radek Faksa: Gathers helper in shootout win
Radek Faksa logged an assist, two shots on goal and two PIM in Thursday's 3-2 shootout win over the Sharks.Faksa has three points over his last four games while filling a bottom-six role. That's unusually strong production for the 30-year-old defensive center, so it shouldn't be expected to continue on a regular basis moving forward. He's at five points, 20 shots on net, 36 hits, 11 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a minus-7 rating through 21 outings this season, and he's found the most success alongside Alexei Toropchenko and Nathan Walker.

Blues' Radek Faksa: Buries goal Thursday
Radek Faksa scored a goal, added two hits and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Sharks.Faksa ignited the St. Louis Blues' comeback with a tally early in the third period. He has displayed chemistry with Nathan Walker and Alexei Toropchenko from the start of his time with St. Louis. Faksa's a defensive center who won't pile up points -- his career high is 33 points in back-to-back seasons early in his career, but he's reached the 20-point mark just once in the last four years. He should, however, be a reliable source of hits while seeing steady playing time on the fourth line.
