Jordan Staal is finally out of neutral.

The Carolina Hurricanes center will make his season debut Monday against the Montreal Canadiens, the club announced. Staal has been sidelined since training camp due to a fractured fibula.

The 26-year-old appeared in every game for the Hurricanes over the past two seasons, with 25 goals and 46 assists to his credit.

His return comes as Carolina continues to scrape the bottom of the NHL standings, three points up on the Edmonton Oilers for last place overall.
