Wild D Brock Faber is out indefinitely after surgery on a skull fracture from being hit by a puck

Minnesota Wild defenseman Brock Faber is out indefinitely after undergoing surgery to repair a fractured skull
SEPTEMBER 29 • Associated Press
Without timetable to return Faber underwent a procedure to repair his fractured skull and is without a timetable to return, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.
Impact Faber left Friday's preseason contest against the Stars in the second period with his confirmed skull fracture. The 24-year-old's status will be closely monitored in the coming days until a timetable for his return is provided. Faber's role is not one that can be easily filled, as he exploded for 15 goals, 51 points, 173 shots on net and 148 blocked shots across 80 regular-season games in the 2025-26 campaign. He's a worthy candidate to occupy the IR spot in fantasy until he's able to return to Minnesota's top defensive pairing.

Begins season on IR Faber (upper body) will begin the 2026-27 regular season on injured reserve, per Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News.
Impact Faber suffered the upper body injury during Friday's preseason matchup against the Stars. While he stayed in the game until the end of the second intermission, the issue has been revealed to be serious enough to keep him off the ice for Opening Night. It's a tough loss for the Wild's defensive unit, as Faber had a career year in the 2025-26 season with 15 goals, 51 points, 173 shots on net and 148 blocked shots across 80 regular-season games. His status will be monitored closely until more information about his timetable for return is released. Regardless, he will likely return to a role on the team's top pairing next to Quinn Hughes when healthy.
SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE
Exits Friday's game Faber sustained an apparent upper-body injury after being hit with a puck in the second period of Friday's preseason game versus the Stars, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.
Impact Faber initially remained in the game, but he was pulled during the second intermission. The 24-year-old defenseman's status wasn't updated after the game, though Smith reports there was at least an element of precaution involved. Faber will have a decent amount of time to get healthy ahead of the Wild's season opener Thursday in Nashville.

Posts three points in Game 3 win Faber scored a goal on four shots, dished two assists, added two PIM, blocked two shots and went plus-3 in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Avalanche in Game 3.
Impact This was Faber's third multi-point effort over nine playoff contests. All of his points came at even strength -- he's yet to log a power-play point this postseason. The defenseman has four goals, five assists, 28 shots on net, 17 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a plus-12 rating. Faber gets overshadowed by Quinn Hughes a lot of the time, but the former is a talented blueliner on his own merits.
