Staal produced a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Staal set up Mats Zuccarello for the opening goal at 19:20 of the first period. He's up to 27 points in 35 games. He's riding a four-game point streak with four tallies and two helpers in that span. He also scored a goal for his 1,000th career point in a loss to the Blackhawks on Sunday. According to Michael Russo of The Athletic, Staal has been playing through an undisclosed injury recently. It hasn't cost the center any time, but he was roughed up a bit in Tuesday's contest. Fantasy owners should continue to use Staal, who has been productive for the Wild in a top-line role this season.

Staal (undisclosed) racked up a goal on two shots and dished out an assist in Thursday's 6-5 win over Edmonton.
EDGE Analysis

The 35-year-old continues to lead the Wild in points with 23, and is now up to 57 shots and 19 hits in 35 games. Staal also earned a plus-2 rating in the game, and showcased why he's still the top fantasy asset the Wild have to offer.

Staal (undisclosed) is out for warmups and is in the lineup for Thursday's game against Edmonton, Sarah McLellan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Staal suffered the injury in Tuesday's game and was in danger of missing Thursday's contest. He has missed just one game in the past four seasons, so the fact that he's refusing to sit out isn't surprising. Now that he's officially healthy, he'll resume his usual spot as the team's top-line center.

Staal (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision for Thursday's game against the Oilers, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Staal exited Tuesday's loss to the Ducks in the first period after taking a hit from Anaheim's Derek Grant, and he's evidently still feeling the effects of that collision ahead of Thursday's tilt. If the veteran pivot is unable to go, Gerald Mayhew will draw into the lineup against Edmonton.

Staal exited Tuesday's game against the Ducks in the first period and didn't return in the second, Wild studio announcer Kevin Falness reports.
EDGE Analysis
Staal was hit into the boards by Derek Grant in the first period and looked uneasy on his way to the locker room. The veteran pivot logged 5:15 of ice time before departing, and Luke Kunin stepped into a first-line role in his place. If Staal remains out for the rest of the game, coach Bruce Boudreau should have an update during the postgame presser.

Staal tallied an assist, but was a minus-2 in 18:05 of ice time in Saturday's loss to Carolina
EDGE Analysis
Staal has picked his scoring pace up in the last 10 games, potting two goals and 10 points in that span. He continues to lead the team in points this campaign with 21 in 30 games, establishing himself as the team's go-to center. His 2:59 of average power-play ice time in the last 10 games is a further indication that Staal is the team's top fantasy option heading into the new year.

Staal has six goals and 14 points while averaging 16:28 of ice time through the first 20 games of the season.
EDGE Analysis
The 34-year-old continues to produce points at his age, but has been pointless in his last four games after riding a six-game point streak through late October and into November. Staal continues to lead the team in points, but has a minus-14 rating this campaign. Look for more power-play points to come, as Staal has just three while managing 2:31 of average ice time on the man advantage. With roughly a fourth of the season over, Staal looks to be the top fantasy option for the Wild at the moment.
