ST. LOUIS – Thunder Bay’s Eric Staal scored his 400th career NHL goal on Saturday night.
On Saturday night, Staal tipped a shot past St. Louis Blues goalie Jake Allen early in the first period, becoming just the 96th player in league history to hit the milestone – and just the second player from the Lakehead after former Detroit Red Wing great and hall-of-famer Alex Delvecchio.
The 34-year-old has five goals and six assists in 13 games this season and 933 points in 1,106 games over 15 seasons. He’s tied with Steve Thomas for 102nd overall on the NHL points list.
