Stone netted a goal in Sunday's 5-4 shootout win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Stone has only played in four of the last eight games, although that could be considered progress compared to the trace amounts of time he saw early in the campaign. His goal was his fourth point in 22 appearances, to go with 33 hits, 35 blocked shots and 35 shots on goal. When the 29-year-old plays, he's usually on the third pairing, so fantasy owners can safely overlook his contributions.

Stone has played in only three of the Flames' last seven games.

EDGE Analysis

He has not registered a point in that span. When the Flames' defense is healthy, Stone gets the smaller portion of a timeshare with Oliver Kylington on the third pairing. This has limited Stone to three points in 18 appearances this season. He also has 26 each of shots on goal, hits and blocked shots while averaging 15:18 per game when he plays.

Stone registered an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Stone has just three points in 15 games this season, and he had gone nine games without a point entering Saturday. The defenseman has added 23 hits and 19 blocked shots, but he's not likely to interest fantasy owners outside the deepest of formats. Stone's been in the lineup for 11 straight games, but he'll likely be relegated to a depth role when Travis Hamonic (lower body) returns.

Stone had four hits in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Stone has been pressed into duty on the second pairing with injuries to T.J. Brodie (undisclosed) and Travis Hamonic (lower body). Stone has only two points in 10 contests, but he's added 19 hits and 10 blocked shots.

Stone recorded an assist, two shots on goal and four hits in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

With Oliver Kylington assigned to AHL Stockton, Stone got a turn in the lineup. He skated alongside T.J. Brodie, and the duo had the helpers on Derek Ryan's second-period goal. Stone has just two points in five games -- he's more defensive in nature and isn't likely to warrant fantasy attention even if he stays in the lineup for awhile.

Stone has been a healthy scratch in six consecutive games.

EDGE Analysis

It's an expected role for the 29-year-old defenseman. His primary purpose is for depth with the Flames. In four games this season, Stone has one goal and six shots while averaging 12:51 per game.

Stone scored a goal on four shots and added three blocked shots in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Stone was playing in just his third game of the season, replacing the demoted Oliver Kylington in the lineup. He's likely to stay in the lineup, as the Flames only have six healthy defensemen on the roster, but Stone isn't likely to make much of an offensive impact.

Stone has skated in two of the Flames' six games this year.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran defenseman posted a minus-1 rating and two shots on goal combined in those two outings. Stone and Oliver Kylington will battle for playing time throughout the year, with coach Bill Peters seemingly favoring the younger Kylington.

Stone signed a one-year deal with the Flames on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Stone was previously bought out by the Flames in August to clear cap space. However, a knee injury to Juuso Valimaki made the Flames' depth on defense suddenly thin, and the signing of Stone will help to address that. Stone had five assists in 14 games last season, missing a large portion of the year with a blood clot in his arm. This will be his fourth campaign with the Flames.

Stone was put on waivers by the Flames on Thursday in order to buy out his contract, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

With the buyout, Calgary will save $2.3 million against the cap this year, which will help it sign restricted free agent Matthew Tkachuk. Considering the 28-year-old Stone was only able to break into the Flames' lineup on 14 occasions last season, he could struggle to secure an NHL deal, though a training camp professional tryout agreement could be in his future.
