Stone scored a power-play goal and went minus-2 in Monday's 4-3 win over the Stars in Game 2.

EDGE Analysis

Stone returned from a 26-game absence due to a lacerated spleen, and it took him just 1:23 into the contest to make an impact. He tipped in a Noah Hanifin shot to open the scoring. Stone had 16 goals and 37 assists over 56 regular-season outings, so he could flirt with a point-per-game pace in the playoffs. He also saw 17:09 of ice time Monday -- that's lower than his 19:24 average ice time from the regular season, but it was second-most among Vegas forwards in Game 1.

Stone (abdomen) will be in action against Dallas for Game 1 on Monday, Gary Lawless of the Golden Knights' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stone will return to action following a 26-game stint on injured reserve due to a lacerated spleen. Prior to getting hurt, the 31-year-old was rolling offensively with 53 points in 56 games and could have been headed for the 70-point threshold for the second time in his NHL career. Stone is expected to join both the second line and the No. 1 power-play unit.

Stone (abdomen) will be a full-contact participant in Saturday's practice, according to Jesse Granger of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

Stone, who hasn't played since Feb. 20 because of a lacerated spleen, might be available to return to the lineup Monday in Game 1 against Dallas. The 31-year-old forward had 16 goals and 53 points in 56 contests during the 2023-24 regular season.

Stone (abdomen) is expected to join his teammates in a non-contact capacity for Friday's morning skate.

EDGE Analysis

Stone likely will be held out for the rest of the regular season, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him enter the lineup for Game 1 of the Golden Knights' first-round playoff series, assuming the team is able to secure the second wild-card spot in the Western Conference. He's racked up 16 goals and 53 points through 56 contests this season.

Stone (upper body) was placed on long-term injured reserve Monday, per CapFriendly.

EDGE Analysis

According to Darren Dreger of TSN, Stone is expected to miss the rest of the regular season, so this is mostly a paper move. Stone will end the regular season with 16 goals and 53 points in 56 games, assuming he does not return.

Stone (upper body) is week-to-week, coach Bruce Cassidy told SinBin.vegas on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Stone sustained the injury Tuesday against Nashville. He has 16 goals and 53 points in 56 contests this season. The Golden Knights already put Stone on injured reserve Thursday before calling up Sheldon Rempal from AHL Henderson in a corresponding move. While Stone is unavailable, Brendan Brisson is likely to play regularly and Paul Cotter might serve in an expanded role.

Stone (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Thursday, SinBin.vegas reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stone suffered the injury Tuesday against Nashville and it's possible he could be gone for the remainder of the regular season, just like the previous two seasons, when the Golden Knights used his cap space to pick up a good player at the trade deadline. Stone should, however be ready to go for the playoffs at a minimum. Stone has 16 goals and 53 points in 56 games this season, marking his best performance in the last three years. The Golden Knights have recalled Sheldon Rempal to take Stone's place on the roster.

Stone will be out for a while after suffering an upper-body injury Tuesday versus the Predators, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stone had avoided significant absences this season, but he'll now miss some time. General manager Kelly McCrimmon did not specify how long Stone will be out, but it's probably safe to assume he'll be unavailable for the rest of the week and perhaps longer with the Golden Knights set to begin a road trip Saturday in Ottawa. The team may need to recall a forward to have a full complement of players Thursday versus the Maple Leafs.

Stone (upper body) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Predators, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear when Stone sustained the injury, but the announcement came early in the third period. The oft-injured winger has stayed pretty healthy this season, racking up 53 points over 56 appearances. If he misses any time, the Golden Knights would likely need to make a roster move for an extra forward or play with seven defensemen.

Stone logged an assist in Monday's 4-0 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Stone has gotten on the scoresheet in four of the last five games, posting a goal and three assists in that span. He's gone a month without a power-play point, his last coming Jan. 18 versus the Rangers. The 31-year-old winger is still one of the Golden Knights' most important forwards. He's been good in 2023-24, racking up 53 points, 116 shots on net and a plus-1 rating over 55 appearances.
