It has been a very impressive return to the team by Carolina Hurricanes center Jordan Staal. After missing the majority of the last two months suffering the effects of a concussion, Canes fans were left wondering whether Staal would even play again this season – and if he did, whether he’d be in step with his team mates, who since he came out of the lineup have been the NHL’s form team.
We needn’t have worried, as Staal has scored in each of his four games since returning to action. Not only is he scoring, but he looks sharp; his team mates are clearly glad he’s back on the ice, and he’s playing much better than he was in the weeks before he suffered the injury.
