Wingels (undisclosed) has joined the team for its upcoming four-game road trip beginning Tuesday in New Jersey, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wingels exited Sunday's game against the Devils early due to the injury, but his presence on the road trip at least provides a positive outlook moving forward. The team should update his status again on Tuesday, providing a bit more clarity on his availability moving forward. If he and one or more of the trio of injured players in Sunday's contest end up skipping the affair, it could force Ottawa to make some roster moves ahead of Tuesday's game.
