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.
With Jonas Hiller back from his illness, the Ducks have reassigned Gibson to Norfolk. His NHL debut will have to wait as he heads back to the AHL were he is 11-9-3 with a 2.61 GAA and .915 SV% this season.
Gibson, 20, is in his first full season in the AHL and is having a strong campaign to this point. He is 11-9-3 with a 2.61 GAA and .915 SV%. He has been recalled because the Ducks want Frederik Andersen to get more starts. Gibson will serve as the Ducks' number-2 behind the scorching Jonas Hiller. Anaheim has a back-to-back on Saturday and Sunday, there is a chance that Gibson could make his NHL debut this weekend.
The Blackhawks feasted on Chiarot in his NHL debut. He was a minus-3 in 10:47 TOI in the 5-1 loss.
Chiarot has two goals, three assists and is a plus-6 in nine games with the St. Johns IceCaps (AHL).
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.
This is a tough break for the Hurricanes, who have lost four games in a row. Faulk has three goals and seven assists in 29 games this season. There is just over five weeks left in the regular season, so Faulk will miss the rest of the Fantasy regular season.
Faulk did not return to the game and Canes coach Kirk Muller did not have an update on the injury after the game, but there were a lot of very somber looks in the locker room. Faulk has 10 points and a plus-3 in 28 games this season.
Faulk missed the Canes last game, but looks like he could be back in the lineup tonight. He plays top-pair minutes on a good Carolina team, he may be a sneaky good fantasy D-man this season.
Faulk missed the Canes last game against the Bruins but appears like he could be back tomorrow against the Senators. Monitor his status for tomorrow's game.
Faulk could be dropped in many leagues and could be a worthwhile pickup for his return. He is seeing top-pair minutes in Carolina.
Schultz was on average a 14th round pick so wait to see if there is an update on his current DTD status. Pitkanen and McBain should be the beneficiaries of any missed time from Faulk.
Faulk has been logging top-pair minutes on the Hurricanes blueline this season so this is a big loss for the Canes who play a strong Bruins team tonight. Consider him day-to-day.
Corvo and Faulk appear to be the D-men to own if you want some of the Canes' powerplay.
Gibson gives the Ducks added depth between the pipes. Drafted out of the USHL last year, he should be eligible to play in the AHL.
Faulk moves up to the top power play unit in only his second game under Muller. The organization has high hopes for him so expect a solid amount of minutes.
Faulk was compared to Jeff Skinner during training camp which is telling to how the organization views the youngster. Look for him to get some minutes at even strength and a look on the power play.
