3 years agoCarolina Hurricanes center Jordan Staal (upper body) is set to return to the lineup Thursday against Winnipeg. He was unavailable for Monday's meeting with Arizona after getting hurt on a hard hit from Colorado's Cale Makar last weekend. Staal joined Nino Niederreiter and Jesper Fast on the third line at the morning skate. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on the line because they have been very productive together in recent times and Staal has been benefiting from it the most, scoring six goals in his last eight appearances. The veteran forward boasts 16 goals and 34 points in 74 games for the whole season.
