Staal, now a co-captain for the Carolina Hurricanes, and his wife Heather lost baby Hannah on Saturday, a team spokesman told ESPN.

"The thoughts and prayers of the entire Hurricanes organization are with Jordan and Heather Staal on the loss of their infant daughter, Hannah. We ask that you please respect their family's privacy at this time,” the team said on Twitter.

Staal, 29, has missed two games and will be away from the team for an undetermined amount of time.
