Faulk is having a strong stretch of play, and it could be beneficial to move on from the defenseman.
The St. Louis Blues are 6-9-6 on the season and hovering near the bottom of the standings, with American Thanksgiving, where teams out of playoff positions are far less likely to make the postseason, less than a week away. It's difficult to find bright spots in the midst of miserable seasons like this one.
However, Justin Faulk's 1,000th game was one of those bright spots--and he followed it up with a two-goal performance in a losing effort against the Philadelphia Flyers.
