Vegas Golden Knights captain Mark Stone is considered week-to-week with a wrist injury, coach Bruce Cassidy said Monday. Stone was injured in the third period of the Golden Knights’ 6-1 win over Calgary on Saturday.
This season, Stone has accumulated 13 points (two goals, 11 assists), just two points behind teammate and NHL leader Jack Eichel, who leads with 15 points.
“I feel for him,” Cassidy said. “He’s always bounced back well, that’s the good news. When we do get him back, whether that’s short, medium, or long term, we don’t know yet.”
In Stone’s absence, Brandon Saad will move to the top line, joining Eichel and Ivan Barbashev, who will shift to right wing. On the power play, Stone had contributed eight points, helping Vegas rank second in the league.
Mitch Marner will take over Stone’s role at the goal line on the power play, while defenseman Shea Theodore will be promoted to the top unit.
The Knights, currently holding a 4-0-2 record, are preparing for their toughest test of the young season. They will face the undefeated Carolina Hurricanes (5-0-0) at home, despite being short-handed among their forward lines and blue line.
Stone joins forward Brett Howden and defenseman Noah Hanifin on the injured list. Howden, sidelined with a lower-body injury, has resumed skating but will not be available against the Hurricanes. Hanifin remains out with an undisclosed injury and has not resumed skating since Vegas’ 6-5 shootout loss to Los Angeles in the season opener.
