Staal's offense is finally catching up to his defensive skills. In the 2011-2012 season he has scored 22 goals in only 49 games due to injury. He has helped the Penguins to a Stanley Cup Championship in 2009. His defensive skills have improved the Pittsburgh Penguins to the top 3 in penalty killing in the NHL. The Pittsburgh Penguins are one of the few teams in the top 5 of penalty killing and powerplay percentage, and Staal has been a big part of that.
