Penguins center Jordan Staal said today that he expects to play tonight against Washington in the Winter Classic at Heinz Field.

Staal has not played this season because of a foot infection followed by a broken hand. He has been practicing with the club since Sunday.

"I feel ready to go," Staal said after the Penguins held a morning skate at Consol Energy Center.

"It's kind of funny how it falls, me being ready for this game."

More details in tomorrow's Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
