Stone has a history of injuries during his eight seasons with the Golden Knights, never having played a full 82-game season. He had already appeared in only 42 games this season before Sunday’s contest. When healthy, the 33-year-old has been a key offensive contributor, with 60 points in those 42 games.

“It seemed to be an innocuous play, where Kris Letang simply bumped into him for position in the neutral zone, but Stone went to the bench immediately.”
