after turning professional for the 2007–08 season, neal played with dallas' american hockey league (ahl) affiliate, the iowa stars. in 62 games, he scored 18 goals and 19 assists for 37 points. the next season, 2008–09, he scored his first career nhl goal in his first nhl game on october 10, 2008, against pascal leclaire of the columbus blue jackets. his first multi-point nhl game came on november 26, 2008, with a two-goal effort against the minnesota wild. famously, neal's first nhl fight proved to be a memorable and quick victory. on december 18, 2008, he was challenged to a fight by columbus forward derick brassard after neal checked blue jacket fedor tyutin hard into the corner of the columbus defensive zone in the first period. neal obliged, and produced a gash near brassard's left eye with a powerful right punch. brassard quickly called the fight off, where it was later disclosed that he had dislocated his right shoulder which ended his season. five days later, neal scored his first nhl hat-trick during a game against the toronto maple leafs on december 23, 2008, in an 8–2 win. his early season performance led to a nomination to the youngstars roster for the 2008 nhl all-star game in montreal. he also broke the stars' team record for goals scored by a rookie (not including the franchise's years as the minnesota north stars), surpassing jussi jokinen's record of 17 goals set in 2005–06, in a 10–2 rout of the new york rangers on february 6, 2009. he completed the campaign with 24 goals and 37 points.
