Golden Knights captain Mark Stone has successful surgery
The Vegas Golden Knights announced on Thursday that captain Mark Stone underwent a successful lumbar discectomy this week and is expected to be ready for the start of the 2022-23 regular season.
"Update: Mark Stone underwent a successful lumbar discectomy with Dr. Robert Watkins, IV at Cedars Sinai Marina del Rey Hospital. He is expected to be ready to play for the regular season," the Golden Knights said.
Stone, 30, was limited to 37 games this season due to injuries. He suffered an injury during Vegas' second game of the season and went on to miss a month of action. He missed another seven games in December and January, then after the All-Star break, he was placed on long-term injured reserve and missed two months with an upper-body injury.
In those 37 games, the Winnipeg native had 30 points (nine goals, 21 assists), eight penalty minutes and was a plus-seven.
