Vegas Captain Stone Sidelined with Arm Injury Against Buffalo

Tuesday, March 3, 2026 at 4:19 PM

Vegas Golden Knights captain Mark Stone will miss Tuesday's game against Buffalo due to a left arm injury sustained during Sunday's loss to Pittsburgh. The team's second-leading scorer was hurt when hit by a stick from Penguins defenseman Kris Letang.

Vegas Golden Knights captain Mark Stone has been declared unavailable for Tuesday night’s matchup against the Buffalo Sabres due to an injury to his left arm.

The veteran forward sustained the injury when Pittsburgh defenseman Kris Letang struck his upper left arm with a stick during a neutral zone collision in the closing moments of the first period in Sunday’s 5-0 loss to the Penguins.

“We’ll keep him as day-to-day,” Vegas coach Bruce Cassidy said on Tuesday. “He’s in here getting treatment but won’t play tonight.”

The 33-year-old Stone ranks as Vegas’ second-highest point producer this season with 60 points, including 21 goals and 39 assists. He leads the team with a plus-17 rating while recording nine penalty minutes, 35 blocked shots, and 17 hits across 43 games, averaging 19:15 of ice time per contest.

Stone, who earned All-Star recognition in 2022, contributed four points on two goals and two assists in six games as Canada earned silver at last month’s Milan Cortina Olympics in Italy.

Throughout his NHL career, Stone has accumulated 694 points through 252 goals and 442 assists, maintaining a plus-158 rating with 238 penalty minutes, 525 blocks, and 512 hits across 749 regular-season contests between Ottawa (2012-19) and Vegas.

His playoff resume includes 85 points on 41 goals and 44 assists with a plus-8 rating over 112 postseason games, highlighted by Vegas’ 2023 Stanley Cup championship victory.

To fill the roster spot, Vegas brought up forward Raphael Lavoie from AHL Henderson on Tuesday. Lavoie appeared in nine games for the Golden Knights last season and seven for Edmonton in 2023-24, remaining scoreless in his NHL appearances.
