Former Bulldog Justin Faulk Skates in 1,000th Career NHL Game

Faulk is just the 2nd Bulldog in program history to reach that milestone, joining Brett Hull.

ST. LOUIS, M.O- A former UMD men’s hockey player reached an impressive milestone on Tuesday night.

Defenseman Justin Faulk skated in his 1,000th career NHL game when his St. Louis Blues took on the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Faulk is just the 2nd Bulldog in program history to reach that milestone, joining Brett Hull.

“The thing I love about Faulker is he played here one year and you would’ve thought he played four years. He’s always been a tremendous supporter. He’s given back to the program. This was the first year he missed the golf thing, he had a wedding. But he comes back every year. Always in communication, like he’s a true alum,” said UMD head coach Scott Sandelin.

Overall, he’s the 138th NHL defenseman to play in 1,000 games.

Faulk is currently in his 15th NHL season.
