Mark Stone has begun skating for the Vegas Golden Knights, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports. Stone has missed the last 32 games for the Golden Knights due to a back injury.
Before going out, he had 17 goals and 21 assists in 43 games.
Stone is considered one of the better forwards for the Golden Knights and would be a welcome addition once he is healthy enough to return. Now, yes, he’s skating, but it was just a light skate, and he doesn’t look ready to practice yet. Stone is not expected to return during the regular season, and it’s also not a guarantee that he will return for the first round of the playoffs. There are reports that the Knights would need to make a deep playoff run if they want to see the former Ottawa Senator in action again this season.
On Saturday, Vegas will host the Minnesota Wild. The Knights are +210 (-1.5) on the puck line and -110 on the moneyline. The over/under is 5.5, over (-134), and under (+110). You can find the lines and props for this game and all others on the FanDuel Sportsbook.
