Stafford has been bumped up to a spot on David Krejci's line in advance of Thursday's game against the Lightning, CSN's Joe Haggerty reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stafford is slated to man the left wing on the line, while Pastrnak will patrol the right side. While Stafford hasn't scored a point over his last three games, working with such highly-skilled linemates offers hope that the veteran forward could get back into the scoring groove Thursday.
