The former Minnesota Wild forward Eric Staal signed a one-day contract to retire a member of the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday.

Staal, 39, played 12 of his 18 seasons in the NHL with the Hurricanes and recorded 455 goals, 608 assists, and 1,063 points in 1,365 games with the Hurricanes, New York Rangers, Minnesota Wild, Buffalo Sabres, Montreal Canadiens and Panthers, and points 25 goals, 39 assists, and 64 points in 104 playoff games.

He was the Hurricanes captain for seven seasons from 2009 to 2016 and is the team’s leader in games played (909), goals (322), assists (453) and points (775) since the franchise relocated from Hartford.

In his Wild career, Staal posted 111 goals, 129 assists, and 240 points in 311 games. In his first season with the Wild Staal led the team in goals with 28 and was second in points behind Mikael Granlund.

His second season was one for the Wild record books. Staal became the first Wild player to score 40 or more in a single season since Marian Gaborik did in 2007-08. He was the second player in Wild history to have 40 or more goals.

Staal’s 76 point season in 2017-18 ranked as third-best in franchise history at the time. He has now been passed by Mats Zuccarello, Kevin Fiala, and Kirill Kaprizov (twice).
