Wild's Eric Staal: Tallies twice in win over Leafs
Staal scored two goals -- including the game-winner in the third period -- on five shots and went plus-2 against the Leafs on Thursday.
Analysis:
He also won 13 of 17 faceoffs, rounding out a brilliant night. Staal's still looking for his first assist, but he has three goals in four games to start the year. The ice time's certainly there, though fantasy owners should still be a bit wary of the oldest Staal brother after he slumped his way to only 39 points between the Hurricanes and Rangers last season.
