Game three certainly was a turning point in the second-round 2025 Western Conference Stanley Cup Playoff series between the Edmonton Oilers<\/a> and the Vegas Golden Knights<\/a>, and one of the stars ended up getting injured. Vegas captain Mark Stone<\/a> left the game in the first period with a little over six-minutes to go on the clock with an upper-body injury. This will mean the forward group would be pressed for energy against the high pace Oilers. How can Vegas possibly react?<\/p>\n

The cause or when the injury happened may go unknown. This is the playoffs after all. Evan Bouchard<\/a> did give Stone a couple hits on the power play net-front battle. That was just before the halfway point of the first period. Stone could very well have been battling previous injuries as well, as many players do this time of year.<\/p>\n

Update: Mark Stone will not return to tonight's game due to an upper-body injury.<\/p>\n
