As he continues to recover from his latest concussion, Marc Staal is reportedly traveling with the Rangers when they embark on an upcoming five-game road trip. Larry Brooks was the first I saw to have it.
Staal skated on own today, scheduled to travel with Rangers on trip that begins tomorrow in DC. Callahan also will travel with club.

Ryan Callahan is also reportedly making the road trip, but could still be up to two weeks away from cracking the lineup. These are both great signs for the Rangers, who in the midst of an attempted turnaround, could really use the services of there captain and alternate back in the fold.
