Faulk will miss his fourth straight game with a leg injury. The Hurricanes said they’re being smart with Faulk’s injury, so he will not travel to Ottawa for Thursday’s game. He remains close to returning, but it won’t come until Friday at the earliest when the Hurricanes return home to play the Sharks.
Hurricanes head coach Bill Peters said that Faulk is getting close, but will not play on Tuesday. He is expected to practice again on Wednesday and could be back in the lineup on Thursday in Ottawa.
Faulk, 22, has three goals and 21 assists (24 points) in 65 games this season. He was a U.S Olympian this season which speaks to his talent in the early stages of his NHL career. In 169 career NHL games, Faulk has 16 goals and 45 assists (61 points). The deal will carry an annual cap-hit of $4.9 million.
Faulk has missed the last five games, but will be back in the lineup today vs. the Bruins. He has three goals and 20 assists in 61 games this season. Mike Komisarek will come out.
Faulk has missed the last five games since suffering an upper-body injured on March 2nd. If Faulk returns, Mike Komisarek would likely be the odd-man out. Faulk has 23 points (3G / 20A) with a minus-4 rating in 61 games this season.
Faulk has missed the last four games with an upper-body injury he suffered on March 2nd in Anaheim. He took part in the Hurricanes' optional skate on Tuesday, but this is his first full practice back with the team. His status for Thursday's game remains unknown, so monitor his availability for tomorrow's game-day skate.
Faulk will miss his fourth straight game with an upper body injury that he suffered last Sunday. He is listed as day-to-day so Thursday vs. Buffalo could be a possible return date for the 21-year-old defenseman.
Faulk will not play Friday or Saturday, but monitor his status before Tuesday's game against the Rangers.
Regardless, Faulk is still questionable for Friday and Saturday's contest.
Faulk was injured in the first period of Sunday's loss to the Ducks. Expect him to miss at least Friday and Saturday's games and then be re-evaluated after that. The Hurricanes have recalled Ryan Murphy from Charlotte (AHL).
Faulk left Sunday's contest after playing just 1:46. The Hurricanes ruled out a concussion, but whatever the injury, Faulk will miss the next week and a half (roughly 5 games). Mike Komisarek will slide into the Hurricanes lineup while Faulk is sidelined.
Safe to say the Canes need him and have missed him.
Faulk will miss his fifth straight game tonight and likely his sixth tomorrow. Monitor his status prior to Thursday and Saturday's game.
