Last off season may have been the hardest to date for Justin Faulk. He has just finished his seventh season as a NHL player for the Carolina Hurricanes and it was by far his worst. Trade speculation ran wild and the fan base was ready to see the Co-Captain out the door. But the Hurricanes brought Faulk back and it couldn’t have turned out any better for both parties.
Settling back in to his role as an alternate captain behind newly-appointed captain Justin Williams, Faulk had arguably his best season since 2014-15 when he posted a career high 49 points.
