BREAKING: The Worst is Confirmed for the Golden Knights and Mark Stone

The Vegas Golden Knights lost 5-3 last night against the Nashville Predators. Making matters worse is the fact that Mark Stone left the game early and did not return.

Today, Golden Knights general manager Kelly McCrimmon revealed in a press conference that captain Mark Stone will be 'out for awhile' after he sustained an injury last night.

Stone has a serious injury history but he always seems to be good to go in time for the playoffs. In the meantime, this injury could buy the team extra cap space as they look to add at the trade deadline. It is not clear exactly how long Stone will be out, but he could go on LTIR, clearing cap space for his team. Of course, they will have to make space again to bring him back should he return prior to the end of the regular season.
