Staal is dealing with an illness and didn't skate Sunday morning, leaving his status in question for the matchup later in the day with the Islanders, NHL.com's Dan Rosen reports.

EDGE Analysis

Staal's bout with the flu prevented him from suiting up Thursday against the Penguins, but he was able to return the following night against the Capitals. However, he only skated 14:33 in that contest, more than five minutes below his season average. It appears the flu symptoms haven't completed gone away yet for Staal, who will likely be reevaluated closer to game time before a decision on his status for Sunday is rendered.
