Eric Staal is is the best. His line is en fuego. The Minnesota Wild are now winners of five in row after absolutely destroying the St. Louis Blues in St. Paul by a score of 8-3. Staal, who was the first Wild player to eclipse the 30-goal mark since Zach Parise did it in 2014-15, added to his team lead with a hat trick. He had to work for his hat trick, though.
Minnesota jumped out to a lead right away when Jason Zucker tipped a Ryan Suter shot through Jake Allen at the beginning of the Wild’s first power play.
