Stone (back) underwent surgery Wednesday and will be out indefinitely.

EDGE Analysis

Stone has now undergone two surgeries on his back in less than a calendar year, though it was previously reported his current injury is different from the one he dealt with last season. The 30-year-old's indefinite absence will continue to test the Golden Knights' offense and forward depth. The winger is not currently on long-term injured reserve, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him placed there at some point if Vegas needs to gain flexibility with the salary cap.
