Jordan Staal Stokes Hurricanes’ Fast Start In Game 4

Jordan Staal is doing what playoff veterans do when the moment tightens - he keeps finding ice and making life miserable for the other bench. Carolina comes out flying and grabs an early cushion, and that kind of first-period punch usually tells you the Hurricanes’ legs are there and their forecheck is mean. Vegas now has to settle the game down before the building and the series tilt any further in Carolina’s favor, and that is never a comfortable place to be.
