Stutzle (knee) is ready to return and is expected to play in Sunday's game against visiting Winnipeg, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mark Kastelic was reassigned to AHL Belleville on Sunday in a move that cements Stutzle's return to the lineup after a two-game absence. The 20-year-old has really stepped on the gas lately, rattling off 16 points -- and 30 hits for good measure -- in his last 16 games, giving him 43 points in 68 total contests this season.
