Stone scored a goal on three shots and blocked three shots in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Stone had produced just one assist over 15 games since his last goal. He gave the Flames a 4-3 lead with a long-range shot that deceived Jaroslav Halak in the third period Monday.

He's added 76 shots on net, 45 hits, 46 blocked shots, 29 PIM and a plus-4 rating through 41 outings this season.

With Oliver Kylington (personal) yet to play this season, Stone has been a fixture on the Flames' third pairing. He's produced nine points, 59 shots on net, 39 hits, 32 blocked shots, 23 PIM and a plus-4 rating through 34 contests.

Stone scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Stone snapped a seven-game point drought with his first-period tally. It was his first goal since Dec. 9, and he's seen mostly limited ice time on the third pairing in that quiet span. The 32-year-old saw some power-play time earlier in the season, but it appears Noah Hanifin is preferred in that role now. Stone has produced four goals, four assists, 47 shots, 27 hits, 25 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 25 outings.

Stone scored his third goal of the season in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Calgary was nearly shut out in Columbus, but Stone blasted the puck past Elvis Merzlikins through a screen with less than three minutes left in the third period to give the Flames a bit of life. The veteran blueliner spent most of November on IR for undisclosed reasons, and since his return he's managed only one goal and two points through seven games, although he has carved out a spot on the second power-play unit during that time to give him some deep-league fantasy intrigue.

Stone logged a power-play assist, two shots on goal, two hits, two blocked shots and two PIM in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Stone missed the last 10 games with an undisclosed injury. He stepped right back into a third-pairing role, seeing 16:42 of ice time in his first game since Nov. 5. The defenseman also set up an Adam Ruzicka goal in the first period. Stone was a bright spot for the Flames prior to his injury -- he's now at six points (two on the power play), 23 shots on net, 13 blocked shots, 10 hits and a plus-5 rating in 11 appearances. He's exactly matched his point total from 11 outings last season.
