Staal scored the game-winning goal in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Bruins.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran defenseman came into the contest with only three helpers through 19 games, but he made his first tally of the campaign count, coming down off the blue line to bang home the rebound on a shot by Vladislav Namestnikov midway through the third period. Staal hasn't scored more than three goals or 15 points in a season since 2014-15, however, so don't expect the 34-year-old to suddenly catch fire.
