The Carolina Hurricanes have experienced a wide range of ups and downs from 2012 draft day acquisition Jordan Staal, but he looks to go out and cary the team both offensively and defensively this season.
After a serious leg injury in the 2014-2015 preseason, Staal missed nearly half of the season, not making his season debut until late December in a game against the Montreal Canadiens.
From that point on, Jordan Staal worked hard to get back into his stellar preseason shape, and he got better and better as the season progressed with an offensively anemic Carolina Hurricanes club.
