Stafford (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Sunday, Paul Friesen of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

The news rules Stafford out for Monday's game against the Avalanche, but the move is retroactive to last Thursday, meaning he could return for the club's next game if healthy. The winger didn't take part in practice Sunday, but doing so will likely precede the next time he's in the lineup.
