The Hurricanes captain hit the ice Saturday after a partial calf tear, eyeing a potential return for the upcoming Global Series matchup against Seattle in Finland.
Carolina Hurricanes captain Jordan Staal returned to practice on Saturday for the first time since suffering an injury nearly a month ago. The 38-year-old forward has been sidelined since Oct. 11 after sustaining a partial calf tear during pregame warmups in Philadelphia.
