Out of quarantineStaal finished his seven-day quarantine and skated Sunday, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.
ImpactStaal is no longer in the NHL's COVID-19 protocol following his trade from Buffalo. The 36-year-old could make his Canadiens debut in Monday's game versus the Oilers, but he'll need to be activated from non-roster injured reserve first. Staal put up 10 points and a minus-20 rating with the Sabres before the trade, though he'll certainly have better surrounding talent with the Habs.
