Hurricanes' Justin Faulk: Busts out with best game of season

Faulk had by far his finest game of the season in Tuesday's win over Vancouver, scoring a goal on nine shots to go with two assists and a plus-3 rating.

Analysis:

Faulk had been struggling mightily all year long, but he's always capable of these big-time performances; it was just a matter of time before he broke one out. This could be a real confidence-building game for the 24-year-old blueliner; it wouldn't be surprising to see him keep playing at a high level.
