Justin Faulk was more than happy to oblige – twice – Wednesday at Climate Pledge Arena. His second goal of the night came 2 minutes 10 seconds into overtime, allowing the Blues to escape the Pacific Northwest with a 4-3 victory over the Seattle Kraken. Starting just his fourth season with the Blues, Faulk tied a franchise record for most OT goals by a defenseman with his third in extra time. He shares the record with Alex Pietrangelo and Erik Johnson. Overall, it’s his 10th game-winner since coming to St. Louis from Carolina in 2019 – tying him for sixth among Blues’ D-men with Kevin Shattenkirk. “Good job for Thommer (Robert Thomas) to stay on it,” Faulk said, describing Wednesday’s game-winner. “He got pressured pretty good there on the half-wall (by former Blue Jaden Schwartz). And even down low (by Justin Schultz and Matty Beniers). “Kinda kept it a little greasy and then it popped out to Vladi (Tarasenko) in front, and nice heads up play by Vladi — he saw me coming in.” Tarasenko was in tight to Seattle goalie Martin Jones, maybe too tight to get off a good shot. Faulk was banging his stick on the ice — the universal signal for: [I]I’m open, get me the puck.[/I] Which is exactly what Tarasenko did with Faulk then beating Jones stick side. [/QUOTE]
