Remarkably, the Golden Knights have achieved this impressive feat without their captain, Mark Stone, who has been sidelined since January 12th after sustaining an injury just three minutes into a game. Despite being without their leader and top scorer for several months, the Golden Knights have managed to stay on top of their game and secure their playoff spot.
In a similar scenario two seasons ago, the Tampa Bay Lightning waited until the end of the season to activate Nikita Kucherov to their lineup after he had missed the entire season due to injury.
However, the Golden Knights have made a surprising announcement today: Mark Stone has made a sudden recovery and has been cleared to play. The team has activated him off LTIR, and his return to the lineup is sure to give the Golden Knights an extra boost as they embark on their playoff journey.
MARK STONE HAS BEEN ACTIVATED OFF LTIR AND WILL PLAY GAME 1 AGAINST WINNIPEG!!!! #VegasBorn | @naqviinjurylaw� z - Vegas Golden Knights (@GoldenKnights) April 17, 2023
