Stone scored twice, added an assist, blocked four shots, doled out two hits and went plus-4 in Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

After spending much of the preseason on his own line, Stone was moved up to play alongside Jack Eichel and Ivan Barbashev in the season opener. The trio exploded for four goals and 11 points in a high-scoring win. Stone's talent is not in question -- he can play at a 60-point pace or better -- but he is injury prone, having missed 110 contests over the last three years. He's also no lock to stay alongside Eichel, as the Golden Knights are a bit thin on the wings and may look to spread out the offense as the season progresses.
