Former Hurricanes Star Has Strong Playoff Performance

During his time with the Carolina Hurricanes, Justin Faulk was known for his ability to produce offense from the point. This is still a notable part of his game now that he is with the St. Louis Blues, which is why he is a key part of the Central Division club’s blueline.

In the Blues’ Game 4 matchup against the Winnipeg Jets, Faulk made a big impact. The former Hurricane scored a clutch goal at the 18:54 mark of the second period, giving the Blues a 4-1 lead. This goal helped put the game out of reach, and the Blues have now tied their series up with the Jets at 2-2 because of it. 

Faulk’s goal was a very nice one, too. The right-shot defenseman one-timed a Jake Neighbours feed from the point past Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck with a beautiful slap shot. 

With his latest strong game, Faulk now has one goal, three points, and a plus-3 rating in four games this post-season for the Blues. He has been quite solid for the Blues during the playoffs and will now look to stay hot from here. 

Faulk was selected by the Hurricanes with the 37th overall pick of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft. In 559 games over eight seasons with the Metropolitan Division club, he had 85 goals, 173 assists, and 258 points. He was also named to three All-Star Games during his time with the Canes.
