Stone (upper body) will miss Thursday's matchup with the Panthers, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.

Analysis:

We may have seen the last of Stone this season, as the winger is still bothered by the monster hit he took against Winnipeg on March 30. If the 23-year-old is unable to suit up in the season finale Saturday versus Boston, he'll finish the year with 23 tallies and 38 helpers to go along with a minus-4 rating.
