Eric Staal is back in the Carolina Hurricanes' lineup.
The team said Wednesday it activated the All-Star center from injured reserve and says he is eligible to play later that night at Anaheim.
The 25-year-old missed 10 games with an upper body injury sustained Nov. 1 against San Jose. He had three goals and two assists in the Hurricanes' first 13 games before he was hurt.
Before he missed a game at Florida on Nov. 4, Staal had skated in 349 consecutive games - the second-longest string in franchise history.
