Stone notched two power-play assists and four shots on goal in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Stone has been back for two games after missing five due to an upper-body injury. The 33-year-old winger had a hand on both of Pavel Dorofeyev's tallies in this contest. Stone has had a couple of injury absences this season, but he's more than made up for it with 21 goals, 41 assists, 24 power-play points, 97 shots on net and a plus-19 rating over 45 appearances. His 1.38 points-per-game mark ranks sixth in the league, and he's one of 38 players in the league to be at or above a point-per-game pace with at least 10 games played through Saturday's action.

Stone (upper body) was activated from injured reserve Thursday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stone was considered a game-time decision despite participating in practice in a non-contact jersey. His activation makes him eligible to play, though it remains to be seen if he will suit up versus the Penguins. If he sits out once more, it seems likely Stone would return Saturday versus the Blackhawks at the latest.

Head coach Bruce Cassidy refused to rule Stone (upper body) in or out of the lineup Thursday in Pittsburgh, SinBin.vegas reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stone has missed the last five games and though he practiced Thursday, it was in a non-contact jersey. Stone has 21 goals and 39 assists, including 22 points on the power play, in 43 games this season. While is appears likely that he will sit out at least one more game, there is still a chance that Stone could play Thursday.

Stone (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Thursday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stone suffered an upper-body injury during Sunday's game against the Penguins and had already missed two matchups as a result. While it's not yet clear when he'll be able to return, his placement on injured reserve indicates that he'll be unavailable for at least a week in total. Cole Reinhardt should continue to see playing time in Stone's absence.

Stone (upper body) will not suit up Tuesday in Buffalo and remains day-to-day, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stone was injured Sunday in Pittsburgh and won't be an option for the first half of the Golden Knights' back-to-back as a result. Considering his injury history, it seems unlikely the right-shot winger will draw into the lineup Wednesday in Detroit as well. It remains to be seen how the lines will shake out for Vegas on Tuesday, but Alexander Holtz is expected to draw back into the lineup in Buffalo due to Stone's injury.

EDGE Analysis

Stone (not injury related) is slated to return to the lineup for Friday's game against the Capitals, SinBin.vegas reports.

Stone didn't appear in Wednesday's game against the Kings after playing for Canada at the 2026 Winter Olympics, but he should be able to join the Golden Knights ahead of Friday's matchup in Washington. Across 41 appearances this year, Stone has racked up 21 goals, 39 assists, 34 blocked shots and 17 hits while averaging 19:33 of ice time.
