Paul Stastny: Will return Monday

Stastny (foot) will return to the lineup Monday against the Sabres, Tom Timmermann of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Analysis:

Stastny has been sidelined since Oct. 17 with the foot issue, but will finally make his return to the ice Monday. The center tallied five points in five games before going down with the injury, and should return to centering the top line alongside Alexander Steen and Vladimir Tarasenko. He'll return to a nice matchup Monday, with Buffalo allowing 2.70 goals per game this season.
