Vegas Golden Knights right wing Mark Stone (lower body) will rejoin the lineup for Friday's tilt against Dallas. After returning to practice earlier in the week, Stone is finally ready to end a 14-game absence. Despite missing Stone for a month, Vegas has played well, topping the Pacific Division, but the return of the team captain should provide a further boost for the squad. Stone was off to a superb start to the season before running into another injury. He went scoreless in just one of his 13 appearances, amassing 21 points (six goals, 15 assists). Stone will be back with Jack Eichel and Ivan Barbashev on the top line and has a spot reserved on the first power-play unit.
Vegas Golden Knights right wing Mark Stone (lower body) will remain sidelined for Monday's tilt against Carolina. The veteran star is battling a lower-body injury, sitting out a second consecutive game. Stone tends to be injury-prone, but he had skated in all 13 games this season before missing Friday's matchup against Seattle. He's been on fire, posting six goals and 15 assists. Due to Stone's absence, Nicolas Roy has been elevated to the top line. Roy produced a two-point outing on Friday and will remain a good fantasy option until Stone returns. He's on 10 points (four goals, six assists) in 14 games for the season.
Vegas Golden Knights right wing Mark Stone (personal) will play against Utah on Saturday. Personal reasons kept Stone away from Friday's practice, but he returned to the ice Saturday morning and will be ready to carry on his prolific form against the NHL's newest franchise. Stone is currently tied for the third-most points in the league with 19. He has hit five goals while delivering 14 assists in 11 games. The veteran star already boasts six multi-point efforts for the year and has been kept off the score sheet only on one occasion. In Utah, Stone and the Golden Knights take on a team that allows 3.45 goals per game.
Vegas Golden Knights winger Mark Stone (personal) will not practice on Friday for personal reasons and is a game-time decision for Saturday's game against Utah. Stone is welcoming his second child into the world, so he shouldn't miss too much time, if any. The 32-year-old is on pace for career-highs in goals, assists, and points through his first 11 games, with five, 14, and 19 of each respectively. He looks fully healthy after injuries ravaged each of his last three seasons and should continue to be one of the best wingers in the league if he can stay on the ice.
Vegas Golden Knights winger Mark Stone got his team off to a good start in their Game 1 win over the Dallas Stars, scoring the first goal of the game in a 4-3 win. In Stone's first game back from a lacerated spleen, he found the back of the net just 1:23 into the contest. The powerplay goal sent social media into a frenzy, as Stone has now come back from injury just in time for the playoffs to begin three times during his Golden Knights tenure, allowing the team to load up at the trade deadline while his salary cap hit sits on injured reserve. Whether this is fair play or some underhanded tactics by Vegas is up for debate, but Stone being a huge addition to their team is certainly not.
Vegas Golden Knights forward Mark Stone (upper body) is a possibility to return for Game 1 of the postseason against the hosting Dallas Stars.

The team had him on long-term injured reserve and would not have been able to afford his salary cap hit in the regular season, but there is no salary cap in the postseason. Stone tallied 16 goals and 53 points in 56 games this season.
