Stafford (upper body) will be with the team for their six-game road trip, despite a clear indication of when he will be available, Ted Wyman of the Winnipeg Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Paul Maurice described Stafford as being part of the "short-term group" according to Ted Wyman, which will no doubt be encouraging for fantasy owners. Unfortunately, the winger has been ruled out for Tuesday's game versus the Blackhawks as he remains on injured reserve. The team should provide an update once the 31-year-old has been activate off IR.
