Montreal Canadiens centre Eric Staal didn’t have much time to acclimate himself to his new teammates, but he finished his first game as the hero.
The Canadiens were taking on the Edmonton Oilers at the Bell Centre last night. Staal joined his teammates yesterday morning for the morning skate. He skated on his own on Sunday, so Monday morning was the first time he joined his new teammates on the ice.
He was playing on a line with Josh Anderson and Jonathan Drouin, giving him the opportunity to provide offence with his new team.
