Tallies in Saturday's loss Faulk scored a goal on three shots and blocked three shots in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Devils.

Impact Faulk has three goals over the last three games. Despite his uptick in offense after a brief absence for a lower-body injury, the Red Wings' collapse was completed with Saturday's loss, ensuring they'll miss the playoffs for the 10th year in a row. Faulk has contributed 15 goals, 38 points, 116 shots on net, 132 blocked shots, 69 hits and a minus-6 rating over 76 outings between Detroit and St. Louis this season. Faulk is entering a contract year in 2026-27, so he should be highly motivated to be at his best in a top-four role next year.

Deposits two goals in return Faulk scored two goals and fired six shots on net in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to Columbus.

Impact Faulk made an immediate impact upon his return in Tuesday's contest, as he scored twice to break multiple ties across the second and third period. With his big night offensively, the 34-year-old blueliner is up to 14 goals, 37 points, 137 shots on net, 66 hits and 126 blocked shots across 74 games this season. Faulk's pair of goals helped him achieve his second multi-point game since being acquired by the Red Wings at the trade deadline. He should remain heavily involved while Detroit makes a playoff push down the stretch, giving him solid fantasy value in most league formats for the rest of the season.

Ready to rock Faulk (lower body) will return to the lineup against Columbus on Tuesday, according to Ansar Khan of MLive.com.

Impact Following a two-game absence, Faulk will replace Jacob Bernard-Docker in Tuesday's lineup. The 34-year-old Faulk has compiled 12 goals, 35 points, 131 shots on net, 125 blocked shots and 66 hits in 73 games this season between Detroit and St. Louis.

Status in question Tuesday Faulk (lower body) will be a game-time decision for Tuesday's home game versus the Blue Jackets, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Faulk has missed the last two games due to his lower-body injury. If the right-shot blueliner is unable to play Tuesday, Axel Sandin-Pellikka will most likely remain in the lineup, as he's helped cover for the absence of Faulk.

Out again Sunday Faulk (lower body) isn't in the lineup Sunday against the Wild, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

Impact Faulk left Thursday's game against the Flyers with an injury and now will be held out for both ends of the weekend back-to-back for the Red Wings. It will be just the third game that the 34-year-old has missed this season. He has had a quiet tenure with his new team since his acquisition from the Blues, recording three points (one goal, two assists) in 12 games.

Questionable for Sunday Faulk (lower body) was deemed to be questionable ahead of Sunday's clash with the Wild, per Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press.

Impact Following Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Rangers, head coach Todd McLellan noted that there's a chance that Faulk could rejoin the lineup for Sunday. The 34-year-old blueliner sustained his lower-body injury in Thursday's matchup in Philadelphia, and could ultimately miss just one game. Overall, Faulk has 12 goals, 35 points, 131 shots on net, 66 hits and 125 blocked shots across 73 games between St. Louis and Detroit this season. His status will be monitored during Sunday's morning skate, which should be a good indicator for whether he's on track to play in the second half of the Red Wings' back-to-back.

Not playing Saturday Faulk (lower body) won't play against the Rangers on Saturday, per the NHL media site.

Impact Faulk will miss at least one game after getting injured in Thursday's 4-2 win over Philadelphia. Since being acquired from St. Louis on March 6, he has registered one goal, two assists, 15 shots on net, 23 blocked shots and 17 hits in 12 appearances with the Red Wings. Axel Sandin-Pellikka will replace Faulk in Saturday's lineup versus the Rangers.

Game-time call Saturday Faulk (lower body) will be a game-time decision Saturday against the Rangers in New York, according to Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press.

Impact Faulk suffered the injury Thursday versus the Flyers. He received treatment Friday and should receive it again Saturday, prior to a decision on his status being made. The Red Wings recalled Axel Sandin-Pellikka from AHL Grand Rapids on an emergency basis, in case Faulk is unable to play.

Departs Thursday's game Faulk (undisclosed) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Flyers.

Impact The nature of Faulk's injury was not announced. The 34-year-old defenseman has filled a top-four role for the Red Wings since he was traded from the Blues. If he misses time, Travis Hamonic will draw into the lineup in a bottom-four role.

Two points for new team Faulk produced a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to Florida.

Impact In his second game for Detroit, Faulk made a big impact, scoring his 12th goal of the season midway through the second period before helping to set up a Marco Kasper tally early in the third. Faulk is up to 34 points in 63 games on the season between the Red Wings and Blues, but he won't see the kind of power-play time in Detroit that he did in St. Louis while working behind Moritz Seider, limiting his fantasy upside.
