Stone (upper body) won't skate Sunday and is day-to-day ahead of Monday's Game 4 matchup versus Edmonton, according to Jesse Granger of The Athletic.
The Golden Knights remain hopeful that Stone will be available to play Monday after he sustained an injury in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Oilers in Game 3. The 32-year-old forward has four goals, eight points, 20 shots on net, 10 blocked shots and nine hits through nine outings this postseason. If Stone and Brandon Saad (lower body) are unavailable for Game 4 on Monday, Cole Schwindt or Alexander Holtz could be in the lineup versus Edmonton.

Rotowire
Stone suffered an upper-body injury and won't return to Game 3 versus Edmonton on Saturday.
Stone had one shot across 5:54 of ice time before exiting the game. He's been fantastic over the playoffs with four goals and eight points across nine outings, and his absence creates a big hole in Vegas' lineup. If he can't play Game 4 on Monday, then Cole Schwindt or Alexander Holtz might draw into the lineup.

Golden Knights' Mark Stone: Given rest day
Rotowire
Stone (rest) will not be an option for Tuesday's matchup against the Flames, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Stone may be getting a maintenance day at the right time -- he's mired in an eight-game goal drought during which he has just two assists and a minus-1 rating. It is unclear if the right-shot winger will suit up for the second half of Vegas' back-to-back in Wednesday's regular-season finale in Vancouver.

For the season, he's at 18 goals, 43 helpers, 113 shots on net and a plus-20 rating through 55 appearances.

Rotowire
Stone logged two assists, four shots on goal, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Stars.

He's contributed a goal and six helpers over his last four contests, giving him 46 points (18 on the power play), 72 shots on net and a plus-19 rating over 37 outings this season.
