Stoner (illness) hopes to return for Wednesday's game against the Blackhawks, Curtis Zupke of NHL.com reports. Stoner has been battling the mumps recently, and hasn't been in the lineup since Nov. 20. Even when he returns, with no points in 20 games, Stoner should only be a fantasy option in the deepest of fantasy leagues.
