Jordan Staal - C - Pittsburgh Penguins

Jordan Staal (knee) is expected return to the Pittsburgh Penguins' lineup on Saturday.
Staal has been sidelined for 15 straight contests because of the injury. "I think the knee feels really strong and everything feels really good," Staal said. He'll have a significant role on Saturday, according to Penguins coach Dan Bylsma, but he isn't expected to log 20 minutes of ice time. To cut back on Staal's playing time on Saturday, he might not be used much to kill penalties. However, he is still projected to play on the second power-play unit.
