However, the Golden Knights got hit with a tough blow as TSN's Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun announced that Golden Knights captain Mark Stone, who's been dealing with back issues, has has undergone surgery and is out indefinitely.
The surgery was performed by Dr. Chad Prusmack in Denver Sports Medical Clinic. Due to his previous back issues, as well as his recent injury January 12th, the Vegas medical staff felt surgery was the best decision to help Stone to hopefully make a full recovery.
