Staal logged an assist and two PIM in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Penguins.

The helper was Staal's first point since he scored a goal Opening Night versus the Lightning. The 36-year-old center remains an unsung hero of the Hurricanes' system -- he's a consistent defensive center, though that usually comes at the expense of scoring chances. He has two points, 11 shots on net, 18 hits, five blocked shots, four PIM and a plus-4 rating over 12 appearances in his usual third-line role.
