Hurricanes' Staal marks milestone game with 1st fight since '17

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.
