RALEIGH, N.C. - The National Hockey League today announced that Carolina Hurricanes forward Jordan Staal has been named the NHL’s “Second Star” for the week ending Jan. 12. This marks the first time that Staal has been named one of the NHL’s three weekly stars.

Staal logged two assists, three shots on goal, two hits and two PIM in Thursday's 7-4 win over the Blue Jackets. Staal earned his first multi-point effort since Jan. 10 versus the Canucks, though he still chipped in two points over the five games in between.

Carolina Hurricanes captain Jordan Staal will play in his 1,300th career game tonight against the Chicago Blackhawks. Not only will Staal become the 74th player in league history to reach that milestone, but he'll also become the first player from the 2006 draft class to reach it as well.

The Hurricanes tried to give Eric Staal a victory on his big day with a third-period rally, but the Ducks came away with an overtime win on Cutter Gauthier’s second goal of the game.

Winnipeg Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck, Carolina Hurricanes centre Jordan Staal and Detroit Red Wings right winger Patrick Kane were named the three stars of the week by the NHL on Monday.
