Staal's acrobatic backhand shot gives Hurricanes win over Golden Knights, ties Stanley Cup Final
Hurricanes captain Jordan Staal chose the simple approach to Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final with Carolina trailing in the best-of-seven series.But, the 20-year veterans game-winning goal Tuesday night was anything but simple. Then again, considering how he has played against the Vegas Golden Knights in this series, perhaps it was.With the game tied at 3 in the third period, Staals sprawling backhand shot while in mid-air with 13:29 left beat Vegas' Carter Hart and found the back of the net for his second score of the game, and it held up as the winner in the 5-3 victory.The series is tied at 2 and returns to Carolina for Game 5 on Thursday.Staal, who has five goals in the series, became the first player since Mike Bossy of the New York Islanders in 1982 to score a goal in each of the first four games of the final.Staal also tied the second-longest playoff goal streak in franchise history, behind teammate Logan Stankoven, who set the record at five earlier this postseason.Staal has 11 points in these playoffs, including seven goals.___AP NHL: https://apnews.com/hub/NHL
