Carolina Hurricanes head coach Bill Peters offered an update on injured forward Eric Staal on Sunday.
Staal skated on his own Sunday morning and could return during the club's ongoing five-game road trip, specifically for the final game against the Vancouver Canucks on Oct. 28.
The captain already missed two games due to an upper-body injury, and it appears he will not be available for the upcoming next three against the Winnipeg Jets, Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers.
