Stone (upper body) has been ruled out of Friday's matchup with the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Stone cannot seem to shake the injury bug, as Friday's contest will mark the seventh game out of the Coyotes' first 11 he'll miss due to injury. The oft-injured blueliner can safely be left on the waiver wire for the time being, but owners interested in his notable offensive upside can check back for an update on his status ahead of Tuesday's game against Colorado.

Stone (upper body) will miss Thursday's matchup with Nashville and is unlikely to suit up for Friday's game against the Ducks, Sarah McLellan of the Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The injury woes continue for Stone this season as it now looks like he'll miss seven games out of the first 11. Between his recent problems with injuries and his career minus-36 rating, he's probably worth staying away from in most fantasy formats.

Stone (upper body) is still considered day-to-day, but isn't expected to play Thursday against the Predators, Sarah McLellan of the Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stone has already missed five of the Coyotes' first nine games of the season due to injury, and will likely miss a sixth contest Thursday with his latest ailment. The 26-year-old blueliner remains without a definitive timetable for his return to Arizona's lineup, but the 'Yotes should provide another update on his status ahead of puck drop Thursday evening.

Stone (upper body) went to get tests done and will not play in Tuesday night's matchup with the Sharks, Sarah McLellan of the Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stone hasn't been able to avoid the injury bug this season as he'll now miss his second game in a row after missing the first four in the aftermath of offseason knee surgery. The Coyotes demand a lot out of him as evidenced by his 20:59 of average ice time, but maybe they should contemplate cutting down his minutes considering his penchant for injuries this year.

Stone's (upper body) status for Tuesday's matchup with San Jose is up in the air, Sarah McLellan of the Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stone has already missed four game this season due to various maladies, which should be a red flag for owners. The blueliner was on a two-game point streak prior to this latest injury, but if he can't stay healthy, may not be worth the roster spot. If the 26-year-old is unable to suit up, look for Kevin Connauton to slot into the lineup.

Stone (upper body) will not play in Saturday's matchup against the Avalanche, Sarah McLellan of AZCental reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stone left Saturday's morning skate early and then did not appear in warmups prior to puck drop so it appears that he will be held out of his fourth game this season. There's been no word that the injury afflicting the blueliner is serious so he should be considered day-to-day for now.

Stone (upper body) is questionable for Saturday's home game against the Avalanche, Sarah McLellan of the Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The puck-moving rearguard reportedly departed morning skate early Saturday, which is typically what happens when a player is day-to-day ahead of a given contest. Kevin Connauton is the extra defenseman on the active roster, and he presumably would draw into the lineup should Stone sit this one out.

Stone is considered day-to-day with an upper-body injury, Craig Morgan of Arizona Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's not clear when Stone sustained the ailment, as he logged 20:01 of ice time and picked up an assist in Thursday's game against the Flyers. Look for the all-around defender to be reevaluated ahead of Saturday's home tilt versus the Avalanche.

Stone received a team-high 24:29 of ice time and recorded two assists during Tuesday's game against New Jersey.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old defenseman proved his health with his multi-assist showing and hefty minutes on Tuesday. Stone underwent knee surgery in the offseason and averaged just 19:42 of ice time through his first two games of the season, so Tuesday's showing was encouraging. He's coming off an excellent fantasy season with 36 points, 161 shots, 137 hits and 143 blocked shots, so if his potential minus rating won't sink your virtual club, Stone is a solid option to fill out your blue line.

Stone (knee) took part in line rushes during pregame warmups, indicating he'll make his return to the Coyotes' lineup for Friday's road matchup with the Islanders, Sarah McLellan of the Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stone has been rehabbing for over six months after undergoing knee surgery to repair his ACL and MCL in April, and has evidently progressed enough to receive medical clearance ahead of Friday evening's matchup with the Isles. The 26-year-old blueliner will slot into a top-four role Friday, skating alongside Alex Goligoski on the Coyotes' second pairing. If he's available in free agency, owners looking for help at defense would be wise to seriously consider adding Stone to their rosters, as he has some legitimate offensive upside having notched 36 points (six goals, 30 assists) over 75 games with Arizona last season.
