Faulk has missed the last three games with an upper-body injury, but he appears to be on-track to return on Friday. Head coach Bill Peters has not ruled Faulk out for Tuesday, but it doesn’t seem likely that he will play until later this week.
Hamonic has missed the last three games with an arm injury, but he will give it a go tonight. Hamonic was expected to miss 4-6 weeks, but is just nine days removed from the injury. The Islanders will go with seven defensemen just in case Hamonic struggles with the injury. He has two goals and three assists (five points) in 12 games this season.
Gibson allowed three goals 18 shots in the Ducks’ overtime loss in Columbus on Wednesday. Jonathan Bernier got the nod and the win on Thursday, but Gibson is expected to start tonight in Nashville.

Talbot allowed four goals on 31 shots in the Oilers’ loss in Pittsburgh on Tuesday. Talbot had a great start to the season, but has now lost four of his last five starts while posting a 2.97 GAA and .897 SV%. Tonight Talbot will face a banged up Stars team on home ice. Talbot is 4-2-0 with a 2.58 GAA and .920 SV% in six starts at home.
Faulk was listed as week-to-week, so his movement to IR creates a roster to recall a defenseman from Charlotte (AHL). Faulk will likely miss at least two weeks.
Gibson allowed a single goal on 22 shots in the Ducks’ win over the Coyotes last Friday. Jonathan Bernier started on Sunday, so they’ll go with Gibson tonight vs. the Flames. Gibson has alternated losses and wins in his last six starts and carries a .914 SV% into his second start vs. Columbus—he was pulled after allowing four goals on 32 shots in a 4-0 loss in the first meeting.
Talbot allowed three goals on 33 shots in the Oilers’ shootout win over the Islanders on Saturday. The win snapped a three-game losing streak for Talbot, who was given Sunday night off, but will be back in goal tonight in Pittsburgh. Talbot has won eight of his 12 starts while posting a 2.36 GAA and .925 SV%, placing him firmly as a No.1 fantasy netminder.
Faulk was injured in Sunday’s game vs. the Devils and will likely miss at least two weeks with an upper-body injury. With Faulk out, Jaccob Slavin and Brett Pesce will make up the Hurricanes’ top-pair. Noah Hanifin should take over Faulk’s duties on the top power-play unit.
Faulk left Sunday’s game vs. the Devils with an undisclosed injury and it will keep him out of Monday’s game. Faulk is arguably the Hurricanes’ most important player, so this is a huge loss. Consider him day-to-day until more information on his injury is released.
Hamonic suffered a broken arm in Saturday’s loss to the Oilers and he is expected to miss approximately one month. Hamonic’s move to IR opened up a roster spot for the Islanders to recall Adam Pelech from Bridgeport (AHL). Hamonic’s injury likely means that Johnny Boychuk will move to the top pair with Nick Leddy.
Talbot allowed four goals on 30 shots in the Oilers’ loss in New York on Thursday. After a five-game winning streak, Talbot has dropped his last three starts while posting a 2.68 GAA and .902 SV%.

Gibson allowed five goals on 34 shots in the Ducks’ loss to the Penguins on Wednesday. It has been an inconsistent start to the season for Gibson, who has won just four times in nine starts while posting a 2.58 GAA and .911 SV%. As choppy as his play has been, he should make for a fine start tonight vs. the Coyotes.

Talbot allowed three goals on 31 shots in the Oilers’ overtime loss in Toronto on Tuesday. Talbot was rock solid once again, but Frederik Andersen was just a little bit better at the other end of the ice. Talbot has been one of the biggest surprises early on, winning seven of 10 starts with a 2.14 GAA and .932 SV%. Tonight he draws a tough matchup vs. his former team, that is leading the NHL in scoring.
