LAS VEGAS (AP) — Vegas Golden Knights captain Mark Stone sat out Game 5 on Wednesday night in the second-round playoff series against the Edmonton Oilers because of an upper-body injury.
Stone was injured in the first period Saturday in a last-second 4-3 victory by the Golden Knights and did not play in the second and third period. He returned, however, to play in Game 4 on Monday, a 3-0 Vegas loss.
Stone had two goals and two assists in the first two games of the series, but has not scored a point since then.
The Oilers took a 3-1 series lead into game Wednesday.
