Hurricanes center Jordan Staal skated on his own on Monday, and according to Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal, it did not go particularly well. Staal has been sidelined with a concussion suffered in last Sunday’s game against Florida.
Head coach Bill Peters later confirmed that it was increasingly unlikely that Staal would make the trip out to the west coast as the Hurricanes prepare for three contests against the Ducks, Kings, and Sharks in four nights.
This doesn’t bode well for the Hurricanes, as all three of those teams are big and strong down the middle.
