Staal announced his retirement from the NHL on Thursday. Staal will join the Rangers as a Player Development Assistant after a 17-year career in the NHL. The 37-year-old compiled 53 goals and 181 assists in 1,136 regular-season games with the Rangers, Detroit, Florida and Philadelphia. The defenseman also chipped in with seven goals and 20 points across 128 playoff outings.

Staal recorded an assist and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 5-3 win over the Coyotes. Staal has not been an everyday player lately, logging just five appearances in the Flyers' last 18 games. He's also been limited to a bottom-four role when he's in the lineup, and his ice time can drop further when head coach John Tortorella deploys seven blueliners. Staal is at three points, 23 blocked shots, 17 hits and a plus-2 rating over 19 outings this season, so he doesn't need to be tracked in fantasy.

Staal supplied a goal in a 5-2 loss to Edmonton on Tuesday. Staal's tally was his first marker and second point in 15 contests this season. The 36-year-old defenseman was a healthy scratch in the Flyers' previous four games and has averaged just 13:22 of ice time this season. His role with Philadelphia is unlikely to grow as the campaign progresses, so Staal's fantasy value will probably remain minimal.

Staal notched his first point of the campaign during Thursday's win over Washington. The assist marked Staal's first point as a Flyer. An upper-body injury has limited him to 12 appearances this season, where he has the one assist, six PIM, three shots, 11 hits, and 16 blocks. He's averaging 13:39 of ice time per game, a significant drop from last year's average of 18:12.

Staal (upper body) has been taken off injured reserve and could return to the lineup against Vegas on Saturday, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. Staal could replace Egor Zamula in the lineup. Staal has missed the last 12 games and had played in only four contests without tallying a point before his injury.
