Marc Staal is coming home.
The Rangers’ 2005 first-round draft choice who played 892 games on the blue line over 13 years while wearing the Blueshirt is rejoining the franchise as a development coach, The Post has leaned from industry sources.
The appointment to this position coincides with Staal’s retirement at age 37 after playing last season for the Flyers following one season with Florida and two with the Red Wings following his trade to Detroit prior to the 2020-21 season.
Staal will work with defensemen in Hartford and throughout the organization in his new role. He is filling the spot that vacated early last year when Paul Mara became an assistant coach with the AHL Wolf Pack. The development staff also includes director Jed Ortmeyer, assistant director Tanner Glass and Antti Miettinen.
Staal, who encountered and overcame multiple concussions while playing the last 11 seasons without vision in his right eye after being struck by a puck in 2012-13, leaves the NHL after 1,136 career games in which he recorded 53 goals and 181 assists for 234 points.
No. 18 is sixth in games played in franchise history, fourth among defensemen behind Harry Howell, Brian Leetch and Ron Greschner. Staal is fourth on the all-time franchise list for games played in the playoffs with 107, trailing Henrik Lundqvist, Chris Kreider and Dan Girardi.
He racked up that many games despite a series of head injuries, the most notable of which he sustained on a high hit on the boards from his brother, Eric, in Carolina on Feb. 22, 2011 in one of the most shocking incidents in memory.
Marc Staal muddied through the remainder of that season, playing with post-concussion symptoms that became worse over the summer. The defenseman did not participate in the 2011 training camp and was sidelined for the first 36 games of 2011-12 before making his season debut in the Winter Classic in Philadelphia on Jan. 2.
The Rangers moved up from 16 to 12 to draft Staal after sending Alex Bourret to the Thrashers to induce the flip of picks. Staal suffered another calamity when struck in the right eye by Jakob Voracek’s deflection of a Kimmo Timonen slap shot at the Garden on Mar. 5, 2013.
The defenseman, who immediately put on a visor after the mishap, missed the remainder of the regular season before returning for one game in the playoffs. Staal, though, never missed another game because of his eye or vision.
