Carolina Hurricanes’ defenseman Justin Faulk to miss some games

Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Justin Faulk will miss some games with an upper-body injury, coach Bill Peters said Tuesday.

Peters said Faulk, a two-time NHL All-Star, was “week-to-week” after an injury sustained in Sunday’s game against the New Jersey Devils at PNC Arena.

“I’d probably be safe in saying that,” Peters said.

Faulk left the game after a collision along the boards with Devils forward Taylor Hall at 7:22 of the third period. Faulk appeared to get his right hand pinned behind Hall while delivering the hit.
