Faber began the regular season on injured reserve after sustaining a fractured skull during the preseason. However, he cleared his return to play protocol in late October and resumed skating with his teammates last week. The 24-year-old is with the Wild on their current road trip, and while he's slated to remain out for Thursday's game in Toronto, he'll likely be able to make his regular-season debut a few days later. Faber recorded 15 goals, 36 assists, 148 blocked shots, 29 PIM and 33 hits while averaging 24:41 of ice time across 80 regular-season appearances with Minnesota last year.
