Logs helper Faksa provided an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Lightning.

Impact Faksa ended a 10-game slump with the assist on Alexei Toropchenko's go-ahead goal in the second period. It's not unusual for Faksa to be quiet on offense as a bottom-six center. He has two points, nine shots on net, 19 hits, six blocked shots, six PIM and a minus-3 rating over 13 appearances this season. Expect the 30-year-old's usage to remain heavily defensive throughout the campaign.

Buries goal Thursday Faksa scored a goal, added two hits and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Sharks.

Impact Faksa ignited the Blues' comeback with a tally early in the third period. He has displayed chemistry with Nathan Walker and Alexei Toropchenko from the start of his time with St. Louis. Faksa's a defensive center who won't pile up points -- his career high is 33 points in back-to-back seasons early in his career, but he's reached the 20-point mark just once in the last four years. He should, however, be a reliable source of hits while seeing steady playing time on the fourth line.

Acquired in trade St. Louis obtained Faksa from Dallas on Tuesday in exchange for future considerations.

Impact Faksa registered seven goals, 19 points, 71 shots on net and 97 hits over 74 regular-season outings with the Stars in 2023-24. As a member of the Blues, he will likely occupy a bottom-six role and see plenty of action on the penalty kill.

Returns with series-clinching goal Faksa scored a goal and added four hits in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Golden Knights in Game 7.

Impact Faksa missed three games due to an undisclosed injury and was deemed a healthy scratch for Friday's Game 6. The 30-year-old then drew back in Sunday and came up clutch with the game-winning goal just 44 seconds into the third period. It was his first point in nine games. Faksa plays in mainly a fourth-line role, but he's had no fewer than 19 points in any of his full-length NHL campaigns, so he can provide some supplementary offense.

Available against Knights Faksa (undisclosed) will be an option for Friday's Game 6 matchup with Vegas, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Even with Faksa cleared to play, he is far from a lock to take a spot in the lineup from Ty Dellandrea or Craig Smith. If the 30-year-old Faksa does suit up, it figures to be in a bottom-six role where he figures to offer mid-range fantasy value, at best, given his limited offensive upside.

Out again Wednesday Faksa (undisclosed) won't suit up for Wednesday's Game 5 versus the Golden Knights, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Faksa will miss a third straight game despite being labeled a game-time call each time. The 30-year-old will likely take on a fourth-line role once he's cleared to return, though it's unclear when that may be.

MAY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time call versus Vegas Faksa (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision for Wednesday's Game 5 clash with the Golden Knights, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.

Impact Faksa was a game-time call for each of the previous two contests but didn't suit up in either, so he is far from a lock to play in Game 5. The Czech center is pointless in his last eight appearances while registering 11 shots, 19 hits and one block. Even if cleared to play versus Vegas, Faksa figures to remain in a bottom-six role, limiting his overall fantasy value.

MAY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing Monday Faksa (undisclosed) will not suit up Monday against Vegas, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

Impact Faksa will now miss a second consecutive game despite being considered a game-time call Monday. He should be questionable to return for Game 5 on Wednesday until another update is available. Faksa tallied nine hits with no points in the first two games this series.
