Senators' Mark Stone: Could return Sunday

Stone (neck) is doubtful to play Friday, but he might suit up against the Panthers on Sunday, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Citizen reports.

Analysis:

Stone has garnered 12 points in his last 10 outings, including a five-point explosion versus the Maple Leafs, which makes his absence from the lineup a significant blow to both fans and fantasy owners. While the winger is out, Tom Pyatt will likely see the biggest uptick in ice time, as he'll join the Sens' top line.
