Staal (illness) will play Saturday versus the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Staal wasn't expected to return until Wednesday versus the Kraken, but he's apparently recovered from his illness. He'll play alongside Gustav Lindstrom in a third-pairing role Saturday. With three assists, 23 blocked shots and 18 shots on goal in 18 games, Staal doesn't add a whole lot of offense to the equation.
