Nov 5 C Eric Staal's streak of consecutive games played reached 349, ranking second in franchise history behind Dave Tippett (419), before it ended Wednesday night when he sat out with an upper-body injury that's expected to keep him out for multiple games. Staal was third behind Calgary's Jay Bouwmeester (354 games) and Henrik Sedin (350 games) among active players with a consecutive-games streak. Staal's streak was the longest since the franchise's relocation to North Carolina from Hartford, Conn. Yahoo! Sports
