Defenseman Marc Staal, who is still suffering from post-concussion headaches, may not be going to Europe with the Rangers when they head overseas Monday.

Staal, who went to see a specialist yesterday, did not skate for the second straight day. According to coach John Tortorella he continued his evaluation with medical staff today.

The team should know more about Staal's status by tomorrow, Tortorella said.
