Published Mon, 11 Nov 2024 23:09:00 GMT

Brock Faber was a team captain, all-American and Big Ten Defenseman of the Year at the University of Minnesota. As a junior, he had four goals and 23 assists, four of the latter in four NCAA tournament games as he helped the Gophers make the 2022-23 national championship final.But in 97 career college games, there is one thing he never did: get a role on the Gophers’ power play.Asked about that during training camp, Faber said part of it was because college players are expected to play more minutes than NHL players, and he was playing the PK. But part of it, he said, was that early in his hockey career “I knew I wasn’t the kind of player who was going to fill up the stat sheet.”Faber, a rookie from Maple Grove, had his first power play point in Sunday afternoon’s 4-1 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks at Xcel Energy Center. He first played on the unit in last Thursday’s 6-1 win at Nashville.“I always knew that I could, right? And I always hoped I would get onto the power play...
