Golden Knights Captain Mark Stone After 5-Game Absence
Stone, the Knights' top forward with 60 points in 43 games, may return after missing five games due to an upper-body injury, with lineup changes expected if he plays.
- On Thursday, Vegas Golden Knights captain Mark Stone was a game-time decision at T-Mobile Arena and returned after a five-game absence against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
- Stone suffered the injury on March 1 after a light check from Penguins defenseman Kris Letang and missed five games with an upper-body injury.
- Coach Bruce Cassidy said 'He hasn’t been ruled out, and he hasn’t been ruled in,' after Stone skated in a non-contact role and joined full line rushes and power-play drills.
- The Knights went 1-4 during Stone’s absence, dropping to third in the Pacific Division; if he plays, Tomas Hertl and Mitch Marner would shift, while Reilly Smith and Brandon Saad sit.
- Stone’s season totals highlight his importance, with 21 goals and 39 assists in 44 games, and he logged 17:52 plus-2 in the 6-2 victory over the Penguins.
