Player Notes
May 15, 2008
Jordan Staal scored two goals for the Penguins in their 4-2 loss to the Flyers in Game 4.

Our View:Stall has five goals and a single assist for the Penguins in these playoffs as he has focused more on his defensive responsibilities than on putting the puck in the back of the net.
May 13, 2008
Jordan Staal is expected to play in tonight's Game 3 against the Flyers, according to SlamSports.com. The center will then travel to Thunder Bay, Ontario, on Wednesday morning to attend his grandmother's funeral. Staal will then fly back to Philadelphia on Wednesday night. As previously reported, his brother Eric will also attend the funeral.

Our View:Staal has three goals and one assist in 11 playoff games, and provides solid depth to the Penguins.
May 11, 2008
Jordan Staal added an empty-net goal in the final minute as Pittsburgh came back to win after twice squandering one-goal leads. The Pens lead the best-of-7 series 2-0 over the Flyers.

Our View:Staal joined Sidney Crsoby and Marian Hossa who also scored in the win.
April 27, 2008
Pittsburgh center Jordan Staal scored one of two goals the Pens put forth in defeating the New York Rangers 2-0 in the Eastern Conference semifinals today, making good on the assists from Evgeni Malkin and Ryan Whitney.

Our View:Staal now has one point in three of his last four playoff games, a strong showing for a 19-year-old just cutting his teeth in the NHL.
April 25, 2008
Jordan Staal will get the chance to suit up against the Rangers in the second round of the playoffs with the added bonus of being able to play against his brother Marc, according to the AP. “It’s your brother,” Jordan said. “You want to end his season, you don’t want him to end yours. It’s going to be a battle, but we’re still going to be brothers afterward.

Our View:Neither player figures to be much of a force from a points perspective, though Staal, Jordan that is, could always surprise with a nice offensive showing.
April 14, 2008
Jordan Staal continues to fill the number three center position on the Penguins behind Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, and his teammates respect the work he does, this according to Sportsnet. "He does a lot of great things for us," Crosby said of Staal. "He's offensively gifted but I think sometimes his defensive play gets overlooked."

Our View:Staal, centering a line with Tyler Kennedy and Jarkko Ruutu, has failed to score a point in two playoff games, but after a season of just 12 goals and 28 points, that's not overly surprising for Staal who is forced to play a defensive game.
March 5, 2008
Jordan Staal practiced on Wednesday and believes he will be able to suit up for the Penguins contest on Thursday night, this according to the AP. Staal injured his ribs on Tuesday night. Staal has been a major fantasy disappointment in his second season as he has just nine goals and 23 points a year after he scored 29 goals and 42 points.
March 4, 2008
Jordan Staal was knocked out of Tuesday's contest with bruised ribs, according to SportsTicker. He's considered to be doubtful to return to action tonight, and we'll have more information on his status as it comes in.
