Just days after undergoing surgery on a severed tendon is his foot, Jordan Staal is back on the ice skating with his Penguins teammates. The injury occured on a freak accident when PK Subban's skate blade sliced through the tongue of Staal's skate. When Staal missed game 2 of the Penguins second round series it snapped a streak of 358 consecutive games played - the longest active streak in the NHL.
Staal has been remarkably healthy up to this point, missing just a single game in his four year career.
Jordan's speedy recovery is quite amazing and if he returns to the Penguins lineup anytime soon it will speak volumes to his commitment and competition level, not to mention a Wolverine-like ability to heal himself. As a part of the Staal family, hockey is no doubt in his veins. He may very well also have steel in his bones.
