Jordan Staal Posts Two Assists In Tuesday's Win
4 years agoCarolina Hurricanes center Jordan Staal registered a pair of primary assists in his team's 4-3 shootout victory over the Chicago Blackhawks at the United Center on Tuesday night. With the two helpers, the 13-year NHL veteran extended his personal points streak to four games and he also added a plus-two rating and four hits in 15:22 of ice time. Staal has been a pleasant surprise through his first five games of the campaign, sitting over a point-per-game (one goal, five assists). While Staal has hit the 50-point plateau just once in his NHL career, the Ontario native could be considered a strong depth add as he provides solid peripheral production (eight shots, 18 hits) in addition to points. He'll look to find the scoresheet once again in a rematch versus Chicago on Thursday.
