"Jordan Staal had not played since Jan. 6 because of a left knee injury, so some things felt new to him Saturday when the Penguins faced Winnipeg at Consol Energy Center.

After his reintroduction consisted of a goal, an assist and a couple of hits in 16 minutes, 14 seconds of ice time, he cracked that finding himself bearing down on a goaltender with the puck was a bit foreign, too, if only because he does not have a lot of experience in such situations.

"I don't get too many feelings like that, but it's definitely not a bad feeling when you have a chance like that," Staal said after the Penguins 8-5 win."
