Faksa logged an assist, six hits and two blocked shots in Monday's 7-4 win over the Wild.
Faksa was his usual physical self in the contest, and he was rewarded with the lone helper on Jamie Benn's empty-net tally. Faksa has picked up just three assists through nine games in December. The Czech center is up to 10 points, 30 shots on net, 48 hits, 29 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating in 29 appearances.
