He's had an injury-plagued season and hasn't produced much offense with 12 points in 39 games, but six of those points came during a seven-game stretch right before he got hurt.
Stafford hasn't registered a point since returning, but he has four 20-goal seasons, including a 31-goal campaign, to his name.
