Rotowire
Stone logged two assists and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Kraken.
Stone helped out on Chandler Stephenson's opening goal and Jack Eichel's empty-netter.

Keeping the 31-year-old winger healthy will be key for Vegas' defense of their Stanley Cup Championship -- he's played just 80 games over the last two campaigns combined due to a pair of back surgeries. For now, it appears head coach Bruce Cassidy is content to have Stone and Eichel on separate lines, providing balance to the Golden Knights' top six.
