Radek Faksa - Page 2 - NHL News & Rumors

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.

The 30-year-old forward has six goals, eight assists, 52 shots on net, 74 hits and 36 blocked shots over 58 appearances. He's been an occasional healthy scratch this season, but Faksa will be hard to remove from the lineup if he keeps scoring.

The fourth-liner is at 11 points, 36 shots, 31 hits, 22 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 43 contests overall, so he can likely be left on the wire in fantasy.

FEBRUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Faksa helped out on a Jason Robertson tally in the second period. The assist was Faksa's fourth point over the last eight contests, which constitutes an improvement from the fourth-liner. He's at 10 points, 34 shots on net, 29 hits and 20 blocked shots through 39 outings overall, so he's likely not doing enough anywhere to help much in fantasy.

Impact Faksa remained on the fourth line amid the Stars' lineup shuffle, but he was able to pick up his third point in the last five contests. Considering he was scratched three times between Dec. 18 and Jan. 2, it's a positive that he's started to add some offense to his strong defensive play. The center has nine points (four shorthanded) with 31 shots on net, 26 hits, 20 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 36 appearances.

The defensive forward has eight points, 27 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through 33 appearances this season.

Faksa is up to three goals, seven points (three shorthanded), 27 shots on net, 18 hits, 19 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through 32 appearances this season. With an unstable spot in the lineup, he's not a fantasy option.

Impact Faksa has a helper in each of the last two games, and four of his six points on the year have come since the start of December. The 29-year-old remains in a fourth-line role -- the Stars value his defensive acumen. Faksa has added 21 shots on net, 17 blocked shots, 12 hits, eight PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 25 appearances.

DECEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

The fourth-liner is a fixture in the lineup for his defense and penalty-killing work. Faksa has five points, 20 shots on net, 17 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 24 appearances, and two of his points have come while shorthanded.

Impact Faksa had been helped scoreless with a minus-2 rating over the last seven contests. The 29-year-old snapped the drought by setting up linemate Sam Steel's goal in the third period. As a fourth-line center, Faksa's not expected to put up much offense, but three points over 18 outings is a bit light even for his defensive role. He's added 15 blocked shots, 15 shots on net and a minus-1 rating this season.
