Golden Knights' Mark Stone Placed on Injured Reserve, Out Indefinitely
Vegas Golden Knights face a challenging period as captain Mark Stone sustains an upper-body injury, with no clear timeline for his return.
- Mark Stone, captain of the Vegas Golden Knights, has been placed on injured reserve following an upper-body injury incurred during a game against the Nashville Predators.
- The injury, not related to Stone's previous back issues, leaves the team without its top scorer and a key playmaker.
- As the Golden Knights navigate a tight playoff race, Stone's absence could prompt the team to be active buyers at the upcoming trade deadline.
- Jack Eichel, another key player for Vegas, is nearing a return from a lower-body injury, potentially offsetting some of the impact of Stone's absence.
- The Golden Knights are currently facing a season-worst, three-game home losing streak as they attempt to maintain their playoff position.
