In a significant blow to the Vegas Golden Knights, captain Mark Stone exited Game 3 against the Edmonton Oilers after sustaining an injury late in the first period. Stone, who was pivotal with four goals and four assists in the playoffs, did not return to the game following a collision with Corey Perry. This absence comes as Vegas also missed Brandon Saad due to a lower-body injury.

Despite falling behind 2-0 early, the Golden Knights managed to rally, entering the intermission with a 3-2 lead. Stone's absence could impact the team's strategy as they contend with the Oilers in this critical playoff series.
