Stoner (abdomen) is projected to be scratched from Friday's Game 2 semifinal contest against the Oilers, NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The brawny defenseman remains the lone Duck on injured reserve, so unless Sami Vatanen (upper body) gets the green light to play, Korbinian Holzer could continue getting some rink-run in these conference semifinals. Still, that's too many variables to worry about when it comes to Stoner. Look elsewhere for a blueliner in playoff pools.
