Steve Staios is being examined for a possible concussion. He logged nearly 18 minutes of ice time in Tuesday's loss to Montreal, but felt symptoms surface on Wednesday morning. NHL protocol will keep him out for at least Thursday's game versus Dallas. Aaron Ness or Calvin de Haan are expected to be recalled from the minors to take his spot in the lineup.

Steve Staios has been paired with Mark Streit on the Islanders' blueline through the first four games of the season. He earned a spot with the team out of training camp on a tryout basis and has averaged 17:08 of ice time per game. Staios doesn't have any fantasy value, but he does provide veteran leadership on the back end and he can still mix it up in the physical department.

Steve Staios has inked a one-year contract with the New York Islanders. Staios was participating in the Islanders' training camp on a tryout basis. He'll reportedly make at least $800,000 this season, but that figure can increase to as much as $1.6 million if he earns all his bonuses and the Islanders win the Stanley Cup. He had 10 points and 24 penalty minutes in 39 games last season.

Steve Staios is heading to the New York Islanders training camp for a tryout. Staios had just three goals and seven assists in 39 games for the Calgary Flames last season. He could have a decent shot to make the Islanders as a veteran defencemen. He hasn't stayed healthy the last few years due to a rib injury. He shouldn't be on any fantasy radar this season.
