Hurricanes' Jordan Staal: Placed on COVID-19 protocol list

Staal is unavailable due to COVID-19 protocols, Sportsnet's Chris Johnston reports.

It's unclear how long Staal will be unavailable, but his status for Saturday's contest in Detroit is uncertain. He won't be available to play or travel as long as he remains on the protocol list. Morgan Geekie will likely replace him in the lineup should he miss any time.
