Faulk (leg) did not participate in the Hurricanes' game-day skate Thursday and is unlikely to suit up against Toronto.

Analysis:

Faulk missed six games prior to rejoining the lineup Tuesday, but appears to have aggravated the injury during practice Wednesday. After starting out the season on fire, the 23-year-old has definitely cooled off, as he's logged a meager four points in 2016, including just one assist on the power play. Despite the injuries and lack of recent production, the defenseman continues to have solid fantasy value, considering he averages more than three minutes of ice time per game with the man advantage.
