Jordan Staal's Top 10 moments as a Hurricane before we celebrate his big milestone

Jordan Staal's Top 10 Moments as a Hurricane

When Jordan Staal steps onto the ice Thursday night against the Minnesota Wild, he will surpass his brother Eric in the Carolina Hurricanes’ record books. It promises to be an exciting evening at the Lenovo Center as history unfolds.

Earlier this week, Staal tied Eric for the most games played in Hurricanes history during the team’s win over the New York Rangers. His next appearance, the 910th, will give him the outright record for most games since the franchise’s relocation in 1997. This milestone moves him into third place in overall franchise history, trailing only Ron Francis, who played 1,186 games, and Glen Wesley, with 913.

If all goes as planned, Staal could pass Wesley for second place as soon as next Friday in a matchup with the Vancouver Canucks. It’s a testament to his remarkable consistency and durability.

Since joining Carolina in 2012 through a trade with the Pittsburgh Penguins, Staal has embodied what it means to be a Hurricane. He ranks near the top in nearly every major category since the team’s move to North Carolina, demonstrating leadership and reliability both in the regular season and playoffs.

“He’s been the epitome of what it means to be a Hurricane,” fans often remark, celebrating his steady influence and clutch performances.

With the captain reaching such an important milestone, it is the perfect occasion to reflect on his standout moments, key games, and lasting contributions to the franchise.
