1 month agoVegas Golden Knights right wing Mark Stone tallied three points during their 4-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Friday evening. In the opening frame, Stone would tally the primary helper on Tanner Pearson's goal. In the second, Stone would add his second primary helper, this time on Ivan Barbashev's 19th goal of the season. In the final period, Stone would find the back of the net to put the game out of reach. In this contest, Stone logged three shots on goal and held a +3 rating. Over his previous seven games, Stone has scored four goals and added three helpers while holding a +2 rating. Across 48 contests, the 32-year-old has tallied 54 points (17 goals) with 22 of his points coming on the power-play. He remains a must-start option in all formats as he plays on the top unit in the Vegas offense.

4 months agoVegas Golden Knights right wing Mark Stone tallied a goal and two assists during Saturday's victory over the Seattle Kraken. Stone would post his first helper of the evening on a primary assist on Nicholas Hague's second goal of the season. In the third period he would tally his second assist of the evening, on another primary assist, this time on Noah Hanifin's strike. Stone would then cap off the victory with an empty-net goal. Since returning to action on December 6 due to a lower-body injury, Stone has tallied seven points (one goal, six helpers) across six games while holding a +3 rating with ten total shots. Fantasy managers should expect Stone to continue his productive scoring output playing alongside Jack Eichel on the top line.

4 months agoVegas 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.

5 months agoVegas 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.
