Defenseman Justin Faulk will be back in the lineup for the Carolina Hurricanes after sitting out three games with an upper-body injury. Faulk left the game against the New Jersey Devils on Dec. 6 after getting tangled along the boards with Taylor Hall. "I've been getting better every day," he said. "I felt good yesterday in practice. One of the biggest issues coming back is being able to handle the hits and the pressure in a game. You can't get that in practice." Matt Tennyson, who played his first NHL game of the season in a 5-1 win against the Washington Capitals on Saturday, will face against his former team on Tuesday. He played 60 games for the Sharks during the past three seasons. "It was nice to get that first one out of the way and not have to do it against San Jose," Tennyson said. "It doesn't change anything based on who you are playing or what the circumstances may be. You just go play your game." The Hurricanes worked on the power play during their morning skate, using a variety of personnel combinations. Carolina had seven power-play goals in the first seven games of the season, but two in the past seven. "We need to get some power-play results," coach Bill Peters said.
