The Carolina Hurricanes have not had the kind of season they hoped for in 2011-12. But one player taking strides forward is rookie blueliner Justin Faulk.
The 19-year-old defenseman has four goals and 11 points in 35 games. More importantly, the Minnesota native is playing in all situations for the Canes. THN.com’s Rory Boylen caught up with the Carolina rookie in Ottawa to discuss his all-star experience and more.

"I think I've done a really good job the whole year. I'm just going to keep going. I finish my hits, it's nothing out of the ordinary. With these hits, you can't look at that and say, 'That's a really bad hit.' You have to slow it down and look at it in detail to suspend me. That's what they're going to do. And that's fine with me. I'll take it. It will make me a better hockey player at the end of the day."
