The Carolina Hurricanes are a quarter of the way through the season, and it’s evident that Jordan Staal is the current frontrunner for team MVP and the accolades may not even stop there.
Not only is he retaining his dominance in both the faceoff dot and within his own zone of play, but now he’s surging as an offensive threat, leading the entire Hurricanes’ roster in goals (7) and points (15).
While some fans may see this offensive dynamo as a new side of him, Rod Brind’Amour doesn’t think this level of play is the work of a “new” Jordan Staal.
