Stone (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Sunday.

Stone (undisclosed) left Saturday's game versus the Devils in the first period, Julian McKenzie of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stone took one shift in the first period and couldn't continue, suggesting he may have been dealing with something prior to the contest. The 32-year-old defenseman has been a pleasant surprise for the Flames so far, logging five points in 10 contests. If Stone and Chris Tanev (upper body) can't travel for the team's upcoming three-game road trip, Nicholas Meloche will likely be called up from AHL Calgary.

Stone scored a goal and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Stone turned in an excellent performance at both ends of the rink. His goal in the second period was the last of the game, a long-range blast that made it through traffic cleanly. The 32-year-old has been a surprise source of offense with two goals and three helpers in six contests, and he's added 14 shots on net, seven blocked shots, five hits and a plus-3 rating in a third-pairing role.

Stone logged an assist and fired eight shots on goal in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Stone has earned four points in as many games to begin the 2022-23 season. He helped out on a Trevor Lewis tally late in the second period of this contest. Stone's up to 13 shots on net, a plus-1 rating, four hits and seven blocked shots while averaging just 14:11 of ice time per game so far. The 32-year-old is steady but unspectacular on offense, so his value remains far higher on the ice than in fantasy.

Stone scored a goal on three shots, added two assists, went plus-2 and blocked four shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Oilers.
EDGE Analysis
Both teams have plenty of firepower up front, but it was Stone who led the game with three points, one of which was a power-play assist. He was involved in the Flames' first three goals to set the tone in this contest. The 32-year-old has made an art of turning tryout offers into contracts with the Flames as he enters his seventh year with the team. He appears to have a solid role on the third pairing, at least until Oliver Kylington (personal) rejoins the club.

Stone signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Flames on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The deal carries an annual average value of $750,000. Stone has spent parts of the past six seasons playing for Calgary and attended training camp on a professional tryout. In 11 NHL appearances last year, Stone compiled two goals, four assists, 24 shots on net 17 blocks and 26 hits.

Stone will join Calgary for training camp on a professional tryout, the team announced Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Stone has spent the past six years with the Flames, so it's a bit of a surprise the team needs to go the tryout route before committing to the blueliner. The Winnipeg native played in just 11 games last season but certainly made them count with two goals and four assists, including two power-play points. Whether Stone makes the Opening Night roster could depend on the health of Chris Tanev (shoulder).

Stone posted an assist in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Oilers in Game 5.
EDGE Analysis
Stone had a shot attempt tipped in by Mikael Backlund at 5:41 of the second period. After entering the lineup for Chris Tanev in Game 4 of the first round, Stone contributed two goals and three helpers in nine outings. The 31-year-old had six points in only 11 regular-season outings. Given that he's a known quantity for the Flames' blue-line depth, they may sign the pending free agent to another short-term deal as they have for the last three seasons.

Stone scored a goal on two shots and added four PIM in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Oilers in Game 2.
EDGE Analysis
Stone opened the scoring at 3:02 of the first period. His double-minor for high-sticking in the second period led to the Oilers' game-tying tally on the power play. The 31-year-old defenseman has shown quality with four points, 20 shots on net, 11 hits and a plus-6 rating through six playoff appearances. His spot in the lineup is essentially guaranteed until Chris Tanev (undisclosed) can return.
