Vegas Captain Stone Injured in Pittsburgh, Exits Game Early

Sunday, March 1, 2026 at 3:31 PM

Vegas Golden Knights captain Mark Stone was forced to leave Sunday's game against Pittsburgh after suffering an injury during the first period. The veteran winger, who has dealt with multiple injuries throughout his career, appeared to be hurt after contact from a Penguins defenseman.

PITTSBURGH — The Vegas Golden Knights lost their team captain during Sunday’s matchup against the Pittsburgh Penguins when Mark Stone was forced to exit the game due to an injury that has not been disclosed by the team.

The incident occurred during the closing minutes of the opening period when Pittsburgh defenseman Kris Letang made contact with Stone’s left arm using his stick in the neutral zone. While the contact appeared minor, it may have struck Stone in an unprotected area between his shoulder and elbow padding. Stone immediately showed signs of discomfort, dropped to one knee on the ice, and headed to the locker room.

The 33-year-old forward has struggled with various injuries throughout his NHL tenure spanning more than ten years, most recently dealing with a wrist problem earlier this season. Since joining the league as a regular player with Ottawa during the 2014-15 campaign, Stone has never managed to appear in a complete 82-game season.

Currently, Stone ranks as Vegas’s second-most productive offensive player this season, accumulating 60 points across 43 contests. The Canadian winger recently competed in the Olympics, where he helped his national team advance to the championship game before falling to the United States in an overtime defeat.
