Radek Faksa - NHL News & Rumors

Ready to return Faksa (lower body) is good to play Friday versus Florida, according to Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Impact Faksa, who has two goals and seven points in 29 appearances in 2024-25, missed the Blues' previous five games. He's projected to serve on the fourth line alongside Oskar Sundqvist and Zachary Bolduc. Mathieu Joseph will probably be a healthy scratch due to Faksa's return.

Labeled game-time decision Faksa (lower body) is considered a game-time decision for Friday's game against the Panthers, Lou Korac of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Faksa has missed the last five games due to a lower-body injury, and although the team initially expressed optimism that he'd be available in the second half of a back-to-back set Friday, the Blues apparently want to see how he feels in the hours leading up to the game. Over 29 appearances this season, Faksa has logged two goals, five assists, 46 hits, 20 blocked shots and 14 PIM while averaging 13:02 of ice time.

Won't play versus Devils Faksa (lower body) won't be available against New Jersey on Tuesday but head coach Jim Montgomery told reporters, "He's getting closer. Real good sign today," per Jeremy Rutherford...

Impact Faksa seems to have a decent chance of cracking the lineup against the Lightning on Thursday, though he hasn't been officially cleared yet. Prior to getting hurt, the veteran center was stuck in an 11-game goal drought during which he recorded a meager 14 shots while chipping in three helpers. Given his offensive limitation, few fantasy players figure to be anxiously awaiting his return to action.

Sidelined Thursday Faksa will not be available to face the Sharks on Thursday due to a groin injury, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

Impact Faksa is currently mired in an 11-game goal drought during which he generated just 14 shots -- though he did chip in three helpers over that stretch. As long as he doesn't miss any significant time, the 30-year-old center should still be capable of challenging for the 20-point mark after coming up just one point shy last year. With Faksa on the shelf, Mathieu Joseph is expected to suit up Thursday.

Manages assist Tuesday Faksa recorded an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Jets.

Impact Faksa has a goal and four helpers over his last nine contests. The 30-year-old set up Robert Thomas' empty-netter to seal this win. Faksa plays in a bottom-six role and typically won't have much consistency on offense -- his recent stretch of success is likely the exception rather than the rule. He's at seven points, 27 shots on net, 44 hits, 16 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 26 appearances this season. Considering he's reached the 20-point mark just twice in the last five campaigns, he's about 50-50 to do so in 2024-25, though he is currently on pace to achieve that level of production.

Gathers helper in shootout win Faksa logged an assist, two shots on goal and two PIM in Thursday's 3-2 shootout win over the Sharks.

Impact Faksa has three points over his last four games while filling a bottom-six role. That's unusually strong production for the 30-year-old defensive center, so it shouldn't be expected to continue on a regular basis moving forward. He's at five points, 20 shots on net, 36 hits, 11 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a minus-7 rating through 21 outings this season, and he's found the most success alongside Alexei Toropchenko and Nathan Walker.
