Stone exits Game 3 with upper-body injury

Vegas Golden Knights captain Mark Stone will not return to Game 3 against the Edmonton Oilers due to an upper-body injury, the team announced.

Stone didn't play in the final 6:20 of the first period and did not come out for the start of the second frame. He lost an edge and appeared to get kneed by Corey Perry earlier in the opening stanza.

Brett Howden took the first shift in Stone's spot on the top line with Jack Eichel and Ivan Barbashev.

Stone recorded 67 points in 66 regular-season games and has added four goals and four assists in nine postseason appearances.
