Hurricanes' Justin Faulk: Participates in morning skate Sunday

Faulk (illness) was on the ice for morning skate Sunday and is expected to play in the evening's contest against Toronto.

Analysis:

Although no official confirmation of his status was provided, it's pretty safe to assume he'll give it a go Sunday evening considering it was an illness holding him out of practice Saturday. The 24-year-old blueliner remains a major offensive contributor for the Hurricanes and fantasy owners alike, possessing 25 points (11 goals, 14 assists) through 47 games. Faulk's minus-17 rating remains his largest drawback, but it shouldn't deter anyone from using him in season-long or daily lineups Sunday.
