Marc Staal

Fantasy Impact

Edmonton chased Thomas Greiss in the first five minutes with three goals but Staal was able to get one back with a shot from the point that beat Mikko Koskinen.

The effort is nice to see but it constitutes his second and third of the year so he doesn't carry much upside.
