With 27 regular-season games still to go, Staios has already doubled his goal production (4) and nearly quadrupled his plus/minus rating (+3) from a year ago.

In the last six games alone, the 2023 Kelly Cup champion has found the back of the net three times.

Lucas Carlsson

Among all AHL defensemen, the 2024 AHL All-Star is tied for the lead in goals and ranks third in points.

In his first AHL All-Star Classic appearance earlier this month, the 26-year-old registered three points (one goal, two assists) for the Atlantic Division.
