Golden Knights Captain Mark Stone Exits With Upper-Body Injury in Pittsburgh

Coach Bruce Cassidy expects him to travel to Buffalo with an update anticipated after Monday’s practice.

Overview

  • Stone left after just 6:06 of ice time and did not return to Sunday’s game.
  • The team labeled the issue an upper-body injury, and any link to his earlier wrist problem remains unknown.
  • Reports differ on the play that preceded his exit, with accounts citing either a Kris Letang cross-check or a neutral-zone bump.
  • Despite missing 16 games earlier this season, Stone has produced 21 goals and 39 assists for 60 points.
  • If he is unavailable Tuesday against the Sabres, healthy scratch Alexander Holtz is the likely forward to draw into the lineup.
