Stone (lower body) will be activated off injured reserve and play Friday against Dallas.

EDGE Analysis

Stone missed 14 consecutive games because of his lower-body injury. He had an amazing start to the campaign before getting hurt, providing six goals and 21 points through 13 appearances. Stone should serve in a top-six capacity, probably on the top line alongside Ivan Barbashev and Jack Eichel. Stone's return will likely result in Cole Schwindt serving as a healthy scratch versus the Stars.
