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 franchise's leader in game-winning goals potted the 60th of his career on a one-timer teed up by Martin Necas 59 seconds into the extra frame, converting the only shot attempted by either club in overtime. Aho has scored the game-winner in all four of Carolina's overtime victories this season.

Staal skated 431 games over six seasons with the Pittsburgh Penguins, who drafted second overall in 2006, winning the Stanley Cup in 2009. He scored 120 goals and 248 points, earning All-Rookie Team honors and finishing third in Calder Trophy voting in 2006-07.

The veteran netminder suffered a knee injury on Oct. 26 in Seattle and underwent surgery in November. Returning to practice with the team earlier this month, he's now good to go and will play his 500th NHL game this evening. A major milestone for a backstop, Andersen will become just the 84th in NHL history to reach the mark.
