Carolina Hurricanes captain Jordan Staal's high-scoring Stanley Cup Final by the numbers
The 37-year-old center joined a short list of NHL players with goals in five straight Final games, AP reported.
- Carolina Hurricanes captain Jordan Staal scored again Thursday night in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Vegas Golden Knights, extending his goals streak to five consecutive games.
- Only two other players have scored in the first five games of a Stanley Cup Final: Maurice Richard with the Canadiens in 1951 and Cyclone Taylor with the Vancouver Millionaires in 1918.
- At 37, Staal joins franchise legends Ron Francis and Mark Recchi as the only players in Hurricanes or Hartford Whalers history to score a final goal at that age.
- By scoring in Game 1, the center broke his brother Eric's record of 6,198 days between goals in the final, a streak dating back to 2006.
- His performance mirrors historic feats by Yvan Cournoyer, who last scored in five consecutive final games in 1973, and Mike Bossy, who accomplished the same in 1982.
