Head coach Bill Peters said Staal and Faulk will alternate wearing the "C" between home and road games, while forward Jeff Skinner will serve as an assistant captain all season.
The Hurricanes have been without a captain since the departure of Jordan's brother Eric Staal in 2015.
Since the team moved from Hartford to Carolina, the captaincy has also been held by Rod Brind'Amour, Kevin Dineen, Keith Primeau, and current general manager Ron Francis.
