Stone logged an assist, seven hits, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Stars in Game 7.
EDGE Analysis
Stone continues to impress, and he had to take on a larger role with Chris Tanev (undisclosed) out for Game 7. Stone picked up three points in four appearances during the first round in a bottom-four role. He's added 17 shots on net, nine hits and a plus-4 rating, and he may continue to play alongside Oliver Kylington as long as Tanev is sidelined.

Stone scored a goal on three shots, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Stars in Game 6.
EDGE Analysis
Stone has played in three straight games, and he was in on both of the Flames' goals Friday. The defenseman's presence in the lineup helped to offset the loss of Chris Tanev (undisclosed), who couldn't finish the contests. Stone has added 15 shots on net, two hits and a plus-2 rating in three postseason contests, and he should be a lock to play Sunday in Game 7 if Tanev's unable to suit up.

Stone notched a power-play assist and added two hits in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Stone set up Noah Hanifin on what stood as the game-winning goal in the third period. The 31-year-old Stone has fit in seamlessly with Oliver Kylington (upper body) hurt -- the former has two goals and three assists in his last five games. For the season, Stone's at six points (two on the power play), 21 shots on net, 24 hits, 17 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in 10 appearances.

Stone scored a power-play goal on three shots, blocked three shots and added two hits in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Stone was on the ice at the end of a power play, and he converted on a long-range shot. It was his second goal and fourth point in the last four games. He continues to fill in for Oliver Kylington (upper body) and Erik Gudbranson (undisclosed). Stone has five points, 20 shots, 22 hits, 16 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in nine appearances this season.

Stone scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and levied two hits in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Stone, who has been a healthy scratch for most of the last four seasons, finally reached the 500-game mark Wednesday. He celebrated the milestone with an assist on Elias Lindholm's opening tally before scoring his first goal of the year in the third period. The blueliner has 132 points in his career, including four in seven appearances this season while adding 15 shots on net, 19 hits and 11 blocked shots.

Stone notched an assist, three shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 3-2 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Stone has two assists in his last four games, but he's also been a healthy scratch eight times in that span. The 31-year-old earned his second helper this season on a dump-in that led to a Johnny Gaudreau goal in the second period. Stone's added 13 shots on net, 17 hits, 10 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in a bottom-four role through six appearances. He may have to compete for playing time with Juuso Valimaki and Connor Mackey as long as Oliver Kylington (upper body) is out.

Stone logged an assist, six hits and three blocked shots in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Oliver Kylington (lower body) couldn't play Saturday, so Stone entered the lineup in a bottom-four role. He kept it simple defensively in his 18:01 of ice time in his first game since Dec. 5. The 31-year-old will likely stay in the lineup as long as Kylington is sidelined. Stone has one assist, 11 hits, seven blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through three appearances this season.

Stone has not played since Dec. 5.
EDGE Analysis
Head coach Darryl Sutter has rolled with the same six defensemen for virtually all of the season, leaving Stone as a healthy scratch. It wouldn't be surprising to see the 31-year-old get a conditioning stint in with AHL Stockton given his lack of playing time this season. He's unlikely to leave the seventh defenseman role unless injuries arise.

Stone has only appeared in two games this season.
EDGE Analysis
Stone's produced five shots on goal, five hits and four blocked shots in his limited action. The 31-year-old might have drawn in had the Flames' COVID-19 outbreak in December hadn't been so significant -- he was one of the few players on the roster who didn't get sick. Fantasy managers won't need to consider Stone in any format since he's rarely playing.

Stone has played in only one game this season.
EDGE Analysis
Stone entered the league's COVID-19 protocols before the season started and didn't return until Oct. 28, which is his lone appearance to date. The 31-year-old blueliner is likely eighth on the defensive depth chart, so it would take a couple of injuries for him to draw in on a regular basis. As such, fantasy managers can easily leave him on the waiver wire.
