Eric Staal gets third goal of season
by Robert Klein | Sat, Jan 30th 8:40pm EST
Eric Staal had a second-period goal during Buffalo's 4-3 shootout win versus New Jersey. He scored on his only shot on goal during the game in 16:08 minutes of ice time.
Fantasy Impact:
The veteran center now has three goals and two assists in nine games played with the Sabres. After years of being the number one center in Minnesota, Staal is a sneaky good fantasy option in a second-line center role with Buffalo. Most opponents will be sending their top defensive/checking lines after the top line led by Jack Eichel and Taylor Hall.
