Blues' Justin Faulk: Slated to miss Saturday's game

Faulk (mouth) is expected to miss Saturday's preseason game against Chicago.

Faulk needed stitches after taking a stick to the mouth during Thursday's preseason clash against Ottawa. The 33-year-old might still be an option for St. Louis' regular-season opener against Minnesota on Thursday. Faulk is likely to serve in a top-four capacity for the Blues when he's healthy.
