Faber scored a goal on four shots and added an assist in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.
Faber got the Wild on the board late in the second period and helped out on Matt Boldy's game-tying tally midway through the third. With three goals and three helpers during a four-game point streak, Faber is again playing well in a top-four role. The 23-year-old blueliner has six goals, 15 points, 44 blocked shots, 56 shots on net and a plus-1 rating through 24 appearances. Faber is looking capable of bouncing back from his 29-point effort in 78 regular-season outings last year, and he should push for a 40-50 point campaign in 2025-26, given his current pace.

Wild's Brock Faber: Two-point night
Rotowire
Faber scored a goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to Winnipeg.
Faber benefited from a friendly bounce to pick up his first goal of the season. He later added a power-play assist as Marcus Johansson deflected his slapper past Connor Hellebuyck. After a quiet start, Faber has now produced five points in his last two games. He continues to shoulder a heavy workload on the Minnesota blue line, averaging more than 23 minutes per night, including running the show from the point of the top power-play unit. Faber also fired seven shots on net, and with his offensive game starting to click, he'll continue to be a strong fantasy option when the Wild host Pittsburgh on Thursday.

Wild's Brock Faber: Trio of assists Sunday
Rotowire
Faber notched three assists, five shots on goal and three blocked shots in Sunday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Sharks.
Two of his three helpers came on the power play. It was a much-needed performance for Faber, who had been held off the scoresheet over the first nine games of the season. Faber's offense may not rebound from last year's middling 29-point output from 78 regular-season contests, as Zeev Buium is maintaining a spot on the highly productive first power-play unit, leaving Faber to man the point on the second unit. Faber has supplied 23 shots on net, 18 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating, though his defensive numbers should improve if the Wild can become more threatening at 5-on-5 rather than depending on the power play for their offense.

Wild's Brock Faber: Two points in Wednesday's OT loss
Rotowire
Faber produced an even-strength goal and added a shorthanded assist in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Rangers.
The 22-year-old blueliner snapped a 12-game point drought with the performance. Faber hasn't been able to match the scoring pace from his breakout 2023-24 campaign, and over 72 appearances this season he's managed eight goals and 26 points. His secondary contributions have dipped as well -- after racking up 150 blocked shots and 65 hits last season, he's delivered only 102 blocks and 35 hits in 2024-25.
Faber scored a power-play goal on four shots and added three hits in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Canucks.
Faber tallied at 7:12 of the third period to break up Kevin Lankinen's shutout bid. This ended a 15-game goal drought for Faber, who was limited to two power-play assists and a minus-9 rating in that span. There's no doubt it's been a rough stretch for Faber, but he remains on the top pairing and first power-play unit for the Wild. He's now at seven goals, 24 points (10 on the power play), 80 shots on net, 76 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 59 contests. While the 22-year-old has had a sophomore slump, the long-term future is still quite bright.
Faber logged a power-play assist, two shots on goal, two hits, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche.
Faber's been a little quiet on offense lately, picking up just two power-play assists over his last 13 games while posting a minus-9 rating. The 22-year-old defenseman is up to 23 points (nine on the power play), 74 shots on net, 71 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 56 appearances. Faber is seeing top-pairing minutes and could see more defensive assignments with Jonas Brodin (undisclosed) and Zach Bogosian (lower body) ailing.
