Stoner (abdomen) practiced in full Tuesday, and playing with AHL San Diego should be his next step in the recovery process.

EDGE Analysis

Stoner has not played since Nov. 15. Even if he returns to the big club in two weeks -- a reasonable estimate given that he needs work in the minors -- that would only leave a pair of games for the defenseman on the regular-season schedule. It's safe to ignore the stay-at-home defenseman in all formats.
