Faulk scored a goal, dished an assist and fired three shots on net in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Predators.
Faulk's goal was the Blues' third tally of the game and was off feeds from Jake Neighbours and Robert Thomas. Faulk then assisted Brayden Schenn's empty-net tally in the closing minute of regulation. The 33-year-old Faulk now has four goals, 32 points, 109 shots on net and 96 blocks in 68 appearances this season. While Faulk was a bit stagnant on offense earlier this season, he is currently firing on all cylinders with nine points in his last seven games. In this stretch, he has three multi-point games and seven helpers. Faulk's emergence offensively has helped St. Louis navigate this stretch of the season without the injured Colton Parayko (knee). Faulk is a top option on the waiver wire in all formats.

Blues' Justin Faulk: Stays hot with two points in win
Rotowire
Faulk scored a power-play goal, added an assist and blocked four shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Predators.
Faulk logged his second straight multi-point effort, and he has a goal and six helpers over his last six outings. His goal opened the scoring at 6:04 of the first period and set up Jake Neighbours' game-winning tally prior to the intermission. Faulk is up to three goals, 29 points (12 on the power play), 105 shots on net, 93 blocked shots, 74 hits and a minus-7 rating through 65 appearances. He remains a strong option for fantasy managers to add while Colton Parayko (knee) is out.

Blues' Justin Faulk: Provides pair of power-play assists
Rotowire
Faulk logged two assists and two PIM in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Ducks.
Faulk is surging with five helpers over his last five games. Three of those helpers have come on the power play, including both of his assists Sunday. The 32-year-old is up to 27 points, 104 shots on net, 89 blocked shots, 74 hits and a minus-8 rating through 64 appearances. Faulk is almost guaranteed a large role down the stretch, and so far, he's done an excellent job of replicating the production the Blues lost when Colton Parayko (knee) was shut down for six weeks from March 6.

Blues' Justin Faulk: Generates helper Saturday
Rotowire
Faulk recorded an assist, four shots on goal, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Wild.
Faulk has three helpers over his last four games and six assists across his last 10 outings. The 32-year-old defenseman is taking on heavier defensive minutes in the absence of Colton Parayko (knee), but that extra ice time could also help Faulk put up more points. For the season, he's at 25 points, 104 shots on net, 74 hits, 89 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating through 63 contests. His all-around production has value in fantasy even though he's nowhere near his 50-point campaign from 2022-23.

Blues' Justin Faulk: Records assist Friday
Rotowire
Faulk notched an assist and four blocked shots in Friday's 4-3 win over the Ducks.
Faulk ended a four-game slump with the helper. He has four assists over his last seven outings, but he'll likely be asked to do more overall with Colton Parayko (knee) out for the rest of the regular season. Faulk is at 23 points, 97 shots on net, 84 blocked shots, 68 hits and a minus-10 rating through 60 appearances. Faulk's playing style is probably the best match to Parayko's on the Blues' roster, and they'll have to keep their playoff push alive from within after the team made no moves at the trade deadline.

Blues' Justin Faulk: Provides helper Tuesday
Rotowire
Faulk logged an assist and blocked four shots in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Kraken.
Faulk has three helpers over his last two contests following a six-game slump. The 32-year-old blueliner helped out on the first of Zachary Bolduc's two tallies in this contest. While offense has come and gone at times for Faulk this season, he still has a reasonable 22 points with 89 shots on net, 62 hits, 79 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating through 55 outings overall while seeing time in the top four and on the power play.

Blues' Justin Faulk: Adds two assists in win
Rotowire
Faulk notched two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Avalanche.
Faulk ended a six-game point drought when he helped out on Brayden Schenn's equalizer midway through the second period. Toward the end of the frame, Faulk set up Dylan Holloway for the Blues' third goal. It's been a bit of a rough year for Faulk, who has been limited to 21 points with 89 shots on net, 62 hits, 75 blocked shots and a minus-13 rating over 54 appearances. He had 30 points in 60 outings last year, and while his raw production may exceed that mark in 2024-25, the per-game pace is likely to be lower. He contributes enough all around to be rostered in most fantasy formats, but he's not a must-have blueliner.

Blues' Justin Faulk: Lends helper in loss
Rotowire
Faulk registered an even-strength assist, two shots on goal and three hits in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
Faulk logged the secondary helper on Robert Thomas' 12th goal of the campaign in the third period. The 32-year-old Faulk has chipped in five assists through eight games in January, but he's been held without a marker since Dec. 31. It'll be worth monitoring how head coach Jim Montgomery deploys his power-play units going forward -- Faulk and Cam Fowler are both capable of quarterbacking the top group, but NHL clubs typically don't utilize two blueliners with the man advantage. For the season, Faulk is up to two goals, 18 points, 16 PIM, 74 shots on net and a minus-11 rating while averaging 22:49 of ice time through 45 appearances.

Blues' Justin Faulk: Offers assist Thursday
Rotowire
Faulk logged a power-play assist and blocked two shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over Calgary.
Faulk has four helpers over five contests since he returned from a two-game absence due to an upper-body injury. The 32-year-old defenseman is gaining some consistency on offense while continuing to see top-four minutes. Overall, Faulk has 17 points, 70 shots on net, 60 blocked shots, 49 hits and a minus-9 rating over 42 appearances.

Blues' Justin Faulk: Two helpers in return
Rotowire
Faulk notched two assists, three shots on goal and a minus-3 rating in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Wild.
Faulk helped out on goals by Pavel Buchnevich and Jordan Kyrou, with the latter's tally coming on the power play. This was Faulk's first game back after missing two due to an upper-body injury. The defenseman has six points over his last four outings, and he also earned his first power-play point since Dec. 10. For the season, the 32-year-old has 15 points, 68 shots on net, 48 hits, 52 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating over 38 appearances, but it looks like his offense is coming around.

Blues' Justin Faulk: Game-time call Friday
Rotowire
Faulk will be a game-time decision against the Senators on Friday with an undisclosed injury.
Faulk was unable to participate in Friday's game-day skate and will need to be further evaluated ahead of puck drop. While the blueliner is coming off a three-point performance versus Chicago on Dec. 31, that outing followed a 34-game goal drought during which he managed just seven helpers. If Faulk can't play Friday, Ryan Suter figures to step into the lineup in his stead.

Blues' Justin Faulk: Big three-point effort in win
Rotowire
Faulk scored a goal and added two assists in a 6-2 victory over Chicago at the Winter Classic on Tuesday.
Faulk slapped a one-timer in the second period from inside the blue line that went straight through traffic; it stood as the winner. Faulk has four points, including three assists, in his last three games and 13 points (two goals, 11 assists) in 37 outings overall. His fantasy value took a bit of a hit with the recent arrival of Cam Fowler, who took over the reins on PP1 and shuffled all other defenders down the depth chart. Faulk is headed toward a triple-digit season in shots, blocks and hits, so he may still offer value in deep formats.
Faulk notched an assist and two PIM in Friday's 7-4 win over the Predators.
Faulk has earned three helpers over his last 10 contests. The 32-year-old helped out on Zachary Bolduc's first-period tally. Faulk has not done a lot on offense this season, and while he held a spot on the first power-play unit for much of the campaign, the Blues' trade for Cam Fowler has bumped Faulk down the hierarchy for that role. Faulk is at 10 points, 60 shots on net, 50 blocked shots, 48 hits and a minus-6 rating over 35 appearances.

Blues' Justin Faulk: Adds helper in loss
Rotowire
Faulk notched an assist and three hits in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Devils.
Faulk has two helpers over six outings since he returned from an upper-body injury that cost him two games. He remains in a prominent role, with top-four minutes and power-play time, and it doesn't look like the Blues' trade for Cam Fowler will hurt Faulk's usage. Still, Faulk has struggled a bit this year with nine points, 53 shots on net, 38 hits, 47 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating over 31 appearances, and the change in head coaches from Drew Bannister to Jim Montgomery hasn't had much of an effect on Faulk's production.

Blues' Justin Faulk: Produces assist Tuesday
Rotowire
Faulk logged an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canucks.
This was Faulk's second game back after he missed two contests due to an upper-body injury. He has three helpers over his last four games, a vast improvement on his slump that lasted for nearly all of November. The 32-year-old blueliner is at eight points, 51 shots on net, 31 hits, 42 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating through 27 outings overall.
