Staal powered past the defense to score the opening goal against the Penguins on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Staal has been writing himself onto the scoresheet recently, scoring four points in his last five contests. However, the 27-year-old is having a hot and cold season, playing well for stretches, then completely vanishing, including two pointless streaks of at least seven games. The center will have a tough test against Washington on Monday.
