Hurricanes' Justin Faulk: Considered week-to-week

Faulk (upper body) was ruled out for the next three contests Tuesday, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports.

Analysis:

Coach Bill Peters told reporters that Faulk was week-to-week with this upper-body injury. With the 24-year-old sidelined, the Hurricanes' already weak blue line loses perhaps their top defender and a critical piece of their power play. Brett Pesce will likely see the biggest uptick in ice time during Faulk's absence.
