Injured in Tuesday's game Faber (upper body) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Blues.

Impact Faber was injured midway through the first period. The 22-year-old defenseman is a key part of the Wild's defense, so any potential absence looms large, especially since Jared Spurgeon (lower body) is also out. If Faber can't play Thursday against the Avalanche, Travis Dermott is likely to draw into the lineup.

Tickles twine in win Faber scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Monday's 4-3 win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Faber gave the Wild their first lead of the game at 2:43 of the third period. He'd gone 14 contests without a goal, picking up six assists and 16 shots on net in that span. The 22-year-old defenseman remains a key part of the Wild's defense in a top-pairing role.

Playing Friday Faber (upper body) will play Friday versus Utah, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.

Impact Faber was hit by a puck Wednesday against the Panthers and there was some question as to whether or not he would be healthy enough to play Friday. Faber had a big rookie season last year, tallying eight goals and adding 39 assists in 82 regular-season games. He has slumped a bit this season with only three goals and 17 points in 32 contests, but did have assists in three straight games before the Panthers held him off the scoresheet Wednesday.

Struck by puck late in game Faber is still under evaluation for an upper-body injury after being hit by a puck late in Wednesday's game versus the Panthers, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.

Impact Faber was hit in the head or neck area late in the third period and immediately went to the locker room. The 22-year-old defenseman should be considered day-to-day until more information is available. If he misses time, Travis Dermott would likely enter the lineup while Zach Bogosian could move into the top four.

Hands out helper Sunday Faber notched an assist and two blocked shots in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Faber has a helper in three straight games and in five of his last seven outings. The 22-year-old defenseman set up the second of Kirill Kaprizov's goal in this loss. Faber is now at three goals, 14 assists, 40 shots on net, 41 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating over 31 appearances. He has upside in a variety of areas, and he should be active for most fantasy managers.

DECEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Power-play assist in loss Faber logged a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 7-1 loss to the Oilers.

Impact Faber has three helpers over his last five games, but this was his first power-play point since Nov. 23 versus the Flames. The 22-year-old defenseman has been on the second power-play unit, which has reduced his ability to contribute in that situation. Overall, he's at 15 points (six on the power play), 39 shots on net, 36 blocked shots and a plus-13 rating over 29 outings in a top-pairing role.

DECEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Helpers in consecutive games Faber notched an assist, three shots on goal, two PIM, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Friday's 5-1 win over the Ducks.

Impact Faber has two assists over the first two games of December after being limited to three points across his last 10 contests in November. The defenseman helped out on the second of Marco Rossi's tallies in this game. Faber is up to 14 points, 34 shots on net, 31 blocked shots, nine PIM and a plus-15 rating through 26 outings. He's a lock for top-pairing minutes, and his offense alone is enough to make him a strong part of fantasy blue lines.

DECEMBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Manages assist Tuesday Faber posted an assist, three blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Canucks.

Impact Faber has four points and 15 blocked shots over his last eight outings. He helped out on a Frederick Gaudreau tally in the second period of Tuesday's contest. The 22-year-old Faber has 13 points, 31 shots on net, 29 blocks and a plus-12 rating over 25 games this season while logging steady time on the top pairing. He's a little behind the pace of his 47-point performance from 2023-24, but not to an extent that fantasy managers should be worried about his production.

DECEMBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Contributes helper in loss Faber notched an assist, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Jets.

Impact Faber has a goal and two assists over his last four contests. He had the secondary helper on defense partner Jacob Middleton's first-period tally. Faber is up to 12 points (five on the power play), 28 shots on net, 20 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating across 21 appearances. He's right in line with the scoring pace that saw him rack up 47 points over 82 outings as a rookie in 2023-24.
