Coach Dan Quinn said Staal (lower body) is questionable for Monday's game versus the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Staal was a game-time decision due to a lower-body injury for Saturday's game versus the Maple Leafs, but he ultimately slotted into the lineup. He may have been hurting again after that contest, leading to his unclear status for next game. Fantasy owners shouldn't be bothered by his condition considering Staal has just 13 points in 73 games.

Staal (lower body) will play in Saturday's game versus the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Staal's status has been hazy for the last three days off, but he'll return to the Rangers' top defensive pairing. The 31-year-old shouldn't be on fantasy owners' radars with just 13 points in 72 games, but he's used heavily defensively with 61.0 percent of his shifts starting in the Rangers' zone.

Staal's (lower body) status for Saturday's game against Toronto remains in question.

EDGE Analysis

Head coach David Quinn said Staal felt better Friday but "we'll see how he is [Saturday]." Staal would likely need to rejoin the team at practice before slotting back into the lineup for game action. The Ontario native's status shouldn't concern fantasy owners too much, as he holds just 13 points in 72 games -- although the veteran does boast 80 hits and 102 blocked shots on the season.

Staal is considered day-to-day after missing practice Thursday with an upper-body injury, Colin Stephenson of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Staal hasn't been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Leafs at this point, but he would likely need to rejoin practice either Friday or Saturday for an opportunity to suit up. The veteran's status for the contest shouldn't change much in terms of fantasy, considering he owns just 13 points through 72 contests, though he does provide some minor upside in leagues that count blocks shots (102) and hits (80).

Staal (rest) blocked three shots and skated 23:03 in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Staal came back after a one-game absence to skate big minutes in this game. The blueliner has 97 blocks and 75 hits over 68 games to go with 13 points, none of which are enough to justify significant fantasy attention.

Staal (rest) will return to the lineup for Monday's game in Edmonton.

EDGE Analysis

Staal sat out of Saturday's game against New Jersey, missing his first game of the season. The 32-year-old has three goals and 13 points this season as his fantasy value remains fairly limited.

Staal (rest) won't play Saturday against the Devils, Dan Rosen of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

As noted by Rosen, Staal had been playing through the flu, so he'll get a break with the Rangers being well out of playoff contention. The industrious defenseman will hit pause on his 2018-19 campaign having produced three goals and 10 assists through 67 games.

Staal (illness) will take part in Thursday's game against the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Staal's availability gives the Rangers some stability along the blue line, but it shouldn't have a large impact from a fantasy standpoint. The veteran enters Thursday having notched just 13 points -- three goals and 10 assists -- through 66 games this season, doing most of his fantasy damage on the blocked shots (92) front.

Staal (illness) will be a game-time decision for Thursday's matchup with Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Staal is currently battling an illness, so his status for Thursday's contest likely won't be confirmed until the Rangers take the ice for pregame warmups. If Staal's unable to go, Fredrik Claesson will draw into the lineup against the Red Wings.

Staal delivered a blocked shot and two hits over 23:54 of ice time in Sunday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Staal came up 20 seconds short of Neal Pionk's team-leading ice-time total, with both guys skating over five minutes on the penalty kill. The veteran blueliner is deployed in a defensive-minded role and rarely contributes offensively -- Staal has 13 points in 65 games and just one point in the the last 13.
