Stone earned an assist in Monday's 7-2 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Stone has found playing time inconsistent since returning from an arm injury on March 16, but he skated 21:53 in Monday's contest that saw the Flames rest six regulars. He's generated five assists in 13 appearances this season, but would not typically feature in the Flames' lineup under normal circumstances.

Stone has been a healthy scratch in the Flames' last six games.
EDGE Analysis
He last played March 16 in Winnipeg in his return from an arm injury, but hasn't received minutes since then. With the Flames' blue line running deep, Stone may see some time before the end of the season, but they'll appreciate his eight years of experience as a depth option in the playoffs should any of his fellow defensemen suffer an injury.

Stone (arm) will play as the Flames dress seven defensemen Saturday in Winnipeg, Peter Loubardias of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stone draws into the lineup for the first time since Nov. 11. Playing seven blueliners will likely lead to Stone's minutes being managed after the long layoff. The defenseman had four assists in 11 games before the injury, so this return likely doesn't have much fantasy impact.

Although Stone (arm) won't be in the lineup for Tuesday's game against New Jersey, he will be an option for Calgary for the rest of the season, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stone's return to health will bolster the Flames' depth at defense down the stretch, but it will undoubtedly go unnoticed in most fantasy circles, as he's only totaled 14 points in 93 games over the past two campaigns.

Stone (arm) is not in the projected lineup for Tuesday night's game against the Devils, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stone was recalled from his conditioning stint with AHL Stockton on Monday to signal that he's closing in on his return, but the Flames have enough regulars on the blue line to hold down the fort until he's closer to full strength.

Stone (arm) was called up from his conditioning assignment with AHL Stockton on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
In three minor-league appearances, Stone notched a pair of helpers, two PIM and a plus-7 rating. The blueliner has already been activated off injured reserve and could be ready to rejoin the lineup ahead of Tuesday's matchup with the Devils. If Stone does play, it will likely relegate Rasmus Andersson or Oscar Fantenberg to the press box.

Stone (arm) is listed as out for Sunday's home contest versus the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Stone was removed from injured reserve Saturday, leading many to believe that the 28-year-old blueliner was set to return Sunday. Turns out that will not be the case, and now Stone will hope to take the ice Tuesday against the Devils at home.

Stone (arm) is no longer on injured reserve Saturday, per the NHL's official media site.
EDGE Analysis
He skated in two games during his conditioning stint with AHL Stockton, registering a pair of assists in a 7-5 win over the San Diego Gulls on Wednesday. Stone should be ready to compete for a spot on a crowded Flames blueline, battling for a third-pairing spot with Oscar Fantenberg and Oliver Kylington as he gets back up to game speed. He could be in the mix as soon as Sunday versus the Golden Knights, but coach Bill Peters may have plans to ease him into the lineup.

Stone (arm) was assigned to AHL Stockton to begin a conditioning stint.
EDGE Analysis
The defenseman participated in full practice last Friday and this is the next step in his recovery from a blood clot in his arm. He has been out since Nov. 11 and will need to get up to game speed before rejoining the Flames.

Stone is not listed among the team's expected lines for Monday's matchup against Toronto, per Flames Radio host Pat Steinberg.
EDGE Analysis
Stone appears healthy enough to play given his full practice participation, but he's having trouble cracking the lineup on a deep Flames blue line. He hasn't seen NHL game action since Nov. 11.
