Regardless, Faulk is still questionable for Friday and Saturday's contest.
Faulk (upper-body) has been placed on injured reserve.

Faulk (upper-body) will likely miss 10 days.
Faulk left Sunday's contest after playing just 1:46. The Hurricanes ruled out a concussion, but whatever the injury, Faulk will miss the next week and a half (roughly 5 games). Mike Komisarek will slide into the Hurricanes lineup while Faulk is sidelined.

Justin Faulk back in the lineup tonight.
Safe to say the Canes need him and have missed him.
Faulk (knee) hopefully back by end of week.
Faulk will miss his fifth straight game tonight and likely his sixth tomorrow. Monitor his status prior to Thursday and Saturday's game.
Hurricanes say Justin Faulk is out 2-4 with a sprained MCL.
This is a tough break for the Hurricanes, who have lost four games in a row. Faulk has three goals and seven assists in 29 games this season. There is just over five weeks left in the regular season, so Faulk will miss the rest of the Fantasy regular season.
Justin Faulk, one of the Canes’ best young stars, went down with a lower-body injury in the second period Tuesday.
Faulk did not return to the game and Canes coach Kirk Muller did not have an update on the injury after the game, but there were a lot of very somber looks in the locker room. Faulk has 10 points and a plus-3 in 28 games this season.
Faulk joins PP groups. Looks good to go.
Faulk missed the Canes last game, but looks like he could be back in the lineup tonight. He plays top-pair minutes on a good Carolina team, he may be a sneaky good fantasy D-man this season.

Defenseman Justin Faulk will not dress for the Carolina Hurricanes tonight, as they take on the Boston Bruins in the first game of a two-game homestand.
Schultz was on average a 14th round pick so wait to see if there is an update on his current DTD status. Pitkanen and McBain should be the beneficiaries of any missed time from Faulk.

Faulk has been logging top-pair minutes on the Hurricanes blueline this season so this is a big loss for the Canes who play a strong Bruins team tonight. Consider him day-to-day.

Line Change
Faulk, recalled Thursday from the Charlotte Checkers (AHL), will replace Derek Joslin, who will be a healthy scratch.
Faulk was compared to Jeff Skinner during training camp which is telling to how the organization views the youngster. Look for him to get some minutes at even strength and a look on the power play.
