Staal Buries PPG on Vladar in CAR-PHI Clash

Eric Staal reminds everyone why vets like him stick around, roofing a power-play beauty past Calgary's Dan Vladar in a matchup that's got playoff implications written all over it. Carolina's special teams have been a quiet weapon this season, but moments like this expose any goaltender's five-hole vulnerabilities under pressure. With both teams jockeying for position in a bunched-up East, Staal's timely snipe shifts the momentum and puts the Hurricanes one step closer to asserting dominance.
