Vegas Captain Marc Stone Questionable for Upcoming Game Against Utah Hockey Club

The Golden Knights tied the second-longest home winning streak in franchise history by shutting out the Flames to win seven straight at home. The only longer run was 8-0-0 in 2017-18. The Golden Knights' victory on Monday made them the first team since the Bruins' 14-0-0 run in 2022-2023 to start the season with a seven-game home winning streak, and the tenth team in the previous 20 years to do so.

Mark Stone's goal was assisted by Jack Eichel, giving the Golden Knights a 2-0 lead. They have scored 13 goals between them this season, more than any other teammate in the league. With 19 points (5G, 14A), Stone leads the NHL in points and had one goal that evening.

However, the Vegas Golden Knights have announced his absence from today's practice due to personal reasons.

At this point, Stone's availability for Saturday's game against Utah should most likely be questioned. The 32-year-old winger has scored five goals and provided 14 assists, including eight power-play points, in all but one of his 11 games this season. Pavel Dorofeyev might advance to a top-line position if Stone does miss any time.

During Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Kings, Dorofeyev scored two goals, one of which came on the power play.

Because Dorofeyev scored the game's final two goals, the score appeared somewhat more respectable than the Golden Knights' performance. In his last five games, the 24-year-old winger has scored three goals. He has six goals, nine points, 32 shots on goal, and a plus-3 rating in 11 games this season. In addition to playing on the power play, where he has scored three of his six goals, Dorofeyev has maintained a second-line position.

Even though he doesn't play much, he should be rostered in most fantasy formats as a reliable scorer if he can continue to play those roles. Can the Golden Knights keep their home winning streak alive without Stone?
