The Alternate Captain of the Carolina Hurricanes is oldest brother Eric Staal, while the Pittsburgh Penguins have younger brother Jordan Staal, who is not even 21 yet.  The two hockey stars will have to put their family ties aside as they battle for a spot in the Stanley Cup.

Currently the Pittsburgh Penguins lead the series 3-0, and might possibly sweep the Hurricanes after Tuesday's match up in Carolina.
