Wild's Eric Staal: Opens scoring Sunday

Staal found the top shelf halfway through the first period in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to Detroit.

Analysis:

The last time Staal reached 60 points in a season was 2013-14, when he tallied 61 points over 79 games. The 32-year-old now sits in prime position to reach that mark again, as he currently sits at 58 points with seven games to go. Not only that, but he's hot right now, recording seven goals and three assists over the past 10 games. Minnesota has some tough matchups ahead, facing Washington, Ottawa, and Nashville over its next three games; nevertheless, Staal remains a worthy option in most fantasy formats.
