Staal Not Skating Again Today (Update)

Update, 11:43 a.m.:
Steve Zipay adds that Staal did not attend this morning’s practice because he was seeing another specialist.

Update, 11:22 a.m.:
Andrew Gross adds that even if Staal is not on team charter Monday, he could join team at any time during it’s Europe trip.

Update, 11:15 a.m.:
John Tortorella says he’s not sure if Staal will make trip to Europe at this point. He’ll have a better idea tomorrow.

…well that’s not good. Probably smart not to put a guy suffering from post concussion syndrome on a plane to Europe.

…i’m not sure what to think about Staal situation anymore. He’s skating, he’s not skating, he’s still getting headaches, he’s seeing specialists. Too much going on for a guy with a concussion.

…assuming we’ll get a report on this later.
