Staal (personal) will play in Thursday's game against the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

A day after his wife gave birth to the couple's second child, Staal appears ready to hit the ice with his teammates again Thursday in Toronto. The veteran blueliner doesn't do one thing really well for fantasy owners, but he does contribute on both ends of the ice. He should once again pair with Kevin Klein in his return, while Dylan McIlrath will serve as the healthy scratch among defensemen Thursday.
