It was reported today that Carolina Hurricanes alternate captain and all-star Justin Faulk sustained yet another injury. This time he will be week to week. Entering an important stretch of games, the loss of Faulk is going to be a challenge to overcome. He was also just starting to come around this season, scoring 9 points in his last 8 games.
Canes fans must think positively though. When one door closes, another opens. Faulk’s offensive impact is going to have to be replicated by Carolina’s forwards. On defense though, the Canes have lots of options for the next few weeks.
