LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — It looks like the Golden Knights will be without their captain for some time.
Forward Mark Stone has been placed on the injured reserve and is listed as week-to-week after suffering an upper body injury, head coach Bruce Cassidy said following morning skate Thursday.

Stone left Tuesday's game early after taking a big hit toward the end of the second period against Nashville.
Cassidy also said forward Brett Howden is day-to-day with an upper body injury and defenseman William Carrier has been skating on his own. He also expects All-Star center Jack Eichel will travel with the team on their upcoming roadtrip.
The Knights face the Toronto Maple Leafs tonight at 7 p.m. before embarking on a five-game road trip beginning Saturday.
