Flyers' Marc Staal: Could return Saturday

Staal (upper body) practiced in a regular jersey Friday and could be back in the lineup versus Vegas on Saturday, according to Bill Meltzer of NHL.com.

Staal has missed the last 12 games after getting hurt Oct. 19 versus Edmonton. The 36-year-old will add a much-needed veteran presence to the Flyers blue line once he's given the green light. Staal was pointless in four games before his injury.
