Staal (personal) is not on the ice for pregame warmups, indicating he will not be in the lineup for Wednesday's matchup with Chicago, Newsday's Steve Zipay reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Staal attending to personal matters Wednesday, Dylan McIlrath will hold onto his spot in the Rangers' lineup for at least one more game. Staal could return to action as soon as Thursday against Toronto, so expect an update on his status ahead of that contest.
