Recap: Staal shines in Canes drubbing of Stars

Led by a two-goal night from the captain Jordan Staal, the Carolina Hurricanes kept pace atop the Central Division Tuesday night with a 5-1 win on the road over the Dallas Stars.

The Canes jumped ahead to a 3-0 lead early in the second period and they never let that slip away, as Staal’s two power-play tallies were joined early by a goal from Sebastian Aho, who had a three-point night. Staal and Andrei Svechnikov also had three-point games, with Staal adding an assist and Svechnikov assisting all three of the early goals.

Max McCormick and Nino Niederreiter added insurance goals in the third period, with McCormick scoring his second in as many games after spending most of the season on the taxi squad.
