Minnesota Wild: Slow and Steady Winning the Race for Staal

Consistency, it’s a hard thing to find in the NHL. The idea that you can go into any give game and be a contributor on the scoresheet is a huge ego booster for any player. To rack up points in a predictable and reliable manner can directly affect the success of your team.

In the case of Eric Staal his consistency seems to correlate with the huge success the Minnesota Wild have enjoyed over the last two months. In the 18 games played starting December 4th against Edmonton on the road, Staal has registered a point in all but three of those games, and put together a string of 9 games straight making it onto the Wild’s scoresheet.
