Through 36 games played this season, Faulk has 14 goals and 16 assists for a total of 30 points. He has the most goals of all NHL defensemen this season, and he ranks 4th amongst all defensemen in total points. The American standout also leads the NHL in powerplay goals.
This absolutely unprecedented rise to offensive stardom has taken the league by storm, and he has played a crucial role in keeping the Hurricanes above water, and as of late December, they still have a glimmer of hope in regards to a playoff birth.
