RALEIGH, N.C. -- Jordan Staal broke the record for games played as a Carolina Hurricane and then missed a long stretch of Thursday night's game after a rare fight.
It turned out to be a rewarding evening as the Hurricanes beat the Minnesota Wild 4-3.
The Carolina captain played in his 910th game in a Hurricanes jersey, pulling ahead of brother Eric Staal.
"I appreciate the boys battling it out for me there," Staal said. "Getting a good memory out of milestone game and getting the two points. It has been a fun ride. It has been a lot of fun with these guys here and all the other teammates I've played with it has been just a joy and blessing and I'm just happy to keep going."
