Faber, 22, had ten goals and 29 points in 78 games for the Wild in his second NHL season. He had eight goals and 47 points in his first NHL season in 2023-24. 

"I grew in experience. This year, I felt like I was leaned a little bit more heavily minutes-wise on the defensive side of things," Faber said. "I felt like there's always highs and lows of a season. I thought there was times where I felt like I was really taking a step and growing from where I was last year. And then there was times where I felt like I wasn't playing good enough. So it's all part of it. I felt like I learned a lot this year."
