Staal (not injury related) has been cleared of the league's COVID-19 protocols but won't be in the lineup against the Islanders on Tuesday, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

In 22 appearances this season, Staal has managed just four points, 23 shots and 25 blocks while averaging 16:14 of ice time. Even once back up to full speed, the blueliner could occasionally find himself in the press box and figures to offer minimal fantasy value.
