Marc Staal (concussion) could be out be significantly longer than the first two games of the season.
GM Glen Sather told the on-site New York Post Wednesday morning that Staal might be out for a month. Concussions are tricky to set a timetable for and until he can skate without suffering headaches he will not return. Staal didn't take to the ice on Tuesday and TSN's Bob McKenzie said the defenseman may have shut down his rehab for now while seeking more medical opinions. We'll keep you posted.
