Justin Faulk Expected To Return To Practice Thursday
1 year agoSt. Louis Blues defenseman Justin Faulk is expected to return to the ice for practice Thursday after sustaining a lower-body injury during the second period of Tuesday's preseason contest versus the Columbus Blue Jackets. Faulk went hard into the end wall late in the second period on Tuesday and did not return for the third frame. The veteran blueliner enjoyed a career year in 2022-23, tallying 11 goals and a career-high 50 points while skating in all 82 regular-season games. He also recorded 196 shots, 140 blocks, 112 hits, and 34 penalty minutes while averaging 23:23 of ice time per game. He is an excellent cross-category fantasy contributor, although he's unlikely to see first-unit power-play minutes with Torey Krug (foot) hoping to be ready for opening night.
