Stone (leg) was expected to start skating Sunday, but is not ready to return to the ice, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
According to the Senators, the timeline for when Stone will return to action has been pushed back, however, the club didn't provide any specifics. At this point, fantasy owners should probably consider the winger to be out indefinitely. With the team thin at forward, it will need to promote a player form the minors in order to fill out the lineup ahead of Tuesday's contest against the Panthers.

The Senators placed Stone (leg) on injured reserve Friday, per the NHL's official media site.
EDGE Analysis
Stone is still hoping to return to action Tuesday against Florida or Thursday against the Oilers, and this move won't affect his ability to do so. The Senators will hope to have him back in action as soon as possible, as he's been highly productive this campaign, racking up 20 goals and 62 points in just 58 contests.

Stone (leg) is aiming to rejoin the lineup next Tuesday or Thursday, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stone continues to nurse a leg issue that has held him out of the last two games and will be held out through the weekend. However, he's now received a specified timeline for return, with his first crack at doing so arriving Tuesday when the Panthers come to town. Jim O'Brien should continue to draw in for the Senators in Stone's absence.

Stone (leg) won't make the trip to Florida for games Monday and Tuesday against the Panthers and Lightning, respectively, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.
EDGE Analysis
Head coach Guy Boucher said this injury was sustained Friday against Calgary -- a contest that ended his 10-game point streak. Stone was still able to log 20:01 of ice time in the matchup, but his only stats were one blocked shot and a minus-1 rating. With 20 goals and 62 points this season, Stone is on pace to eclipse his previous career highs of 26 goals and 64 points, and his next chance to suit up will be Friday against the Stars.

Stone delivered both a goal and an assist in Friday night's 5-4 road win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Stone leads all Senators in points with 20 goals and 59 points on the season. Even though this team has no chance of making the playoffs, defeating the expansion club that set a record for fastest start by an NHL team in its inaugural season qualifies as a nice morale booster for Stone and Co. He'll look to keep it going Saturday evening against host Arizona.

Stone had yet another two-assist game Saturday in a 5-3 loss to the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Perhaps the air is warming over the Rideau Canal because this Sen is hot. Saturday was Stone's third-straight two-helper game and his fifth in nine. He is nursing a five-game, nine-point streak that includes eight apples and he has 14 points, all but one of which is an assist, in his last nine. Stone is well on his way to his best season ever.

Stone picked up two assists while adding one shot, one blocked shot and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
He's now got six points (one goal, five assists) in five games since returning to action from a knee injury. Stone's already reached the 50-point mark for the fourth straight season, but if Derick Brassard gets dealt at the trade deadline it could have a big impact on his winger's production for the rest of the campaign.

Stone (knee) will be back in action for Saturday's clash with Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Stone returns following a nine-game absence due to his knee ailment. The winger will look to keep rolling, as he racked up 10 points in six games prior to getting hurt. In order to clear space under the 23-man limit and allow themselves to take Stone off injured reserve, the Senators sent Mike Blunden and Max McCormick back to the minors.

Stone (knee) is hoping to be available against the Maple Leafs on Saturday, Brent Wallace of TSN.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
The news effectively rules Stone out for Thursday's clash with the Predators, which will mark his ninth missed game due to his knee ailment. The winger's last outings was versus Toronto on Jan. 20 -- a game in which he notched a pair of helpers. Once healthy, the Winnipeg native should resume his role on the power play, where he is averaging 3:07 of ice time and has tallied eight points.
