The Hurricanes have surged into the playoff chase by going 10-4-2 in their last 16 games, capped by a 4-2 win over the New York Islanders on Wednesday. Carolina went 6-1-1 at home in January, but the lone regulation loss came to the Bruins. While Staal has nine goals and nine assists in his last 16 games, he was held to one assist in two games against Boston, often shadowed by Chara. The 6-foot-9 Chara broke his own record for the hardest shot in Saturday’s skills competition, blasting a 105.9 mph slapper at the RBC Center. He had his first career hat trick Jan. 17 against Carolina, while Milan Lucic scored the game-winner against the Hurricanes the next night.
Although Staal scored twice on Boston’s Tim Thomas in the third period, he ended up with the familiar feeling of watching Thomas get the victory. The Hurricanes got only two of their 76 shots past Thomas in back-to-back losses to the Bruins on Jan. 17 and 18. One day after Thomas notched his seventh shutout in a 7-0 home rout, he made a season-high 43 saves in a 3-2 victory in Raleigh. Beating the Boston Bruins would be a good start. Two weeks after the Bruins finished a home-and-home sweep of Carolina, they’ll be back in Raleigh on Tuesday night hoping to emerge from the All-Star break with another victory. Staal picked one of the teams for Sunday’s event at the RBC Center, selecting Boston captain Zdeno Chara in the fourth round, but Team Staal lost to Nicklas Lidstrom’s group 11-10.
