Stone (knee) will be eligible to return as soon as he is healthy after being designated for the injured, non-roster list, Sarah McLellan of the Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stone has all but been ruled out for Opening Night despite being cleared for contact. The blueliner is just one of several Coyotes defenders dealing with injuries, which could significantly impact the start of the season in the desert. If he can get back to 100 percent, the 26-year-old is fully capable of exceeding his 2015-16 point total of 36 during the upcoming campaign.
