  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Staal recorded a goal and an assist in Monday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.

  Staal scored a goal in Friday's 4-1 loss to Tampa Bay. Staal opened the scoring for the Hurricanes late in the first period with a snap shot that went straight past Andrei Vasilevskiy, but Carolina gave up four unanswered goals in the final two periods to take the loss.

He found the back of the net just 10 times in 80 games during the 2023-24 regular season.
