Vegas Golden Knights Captain Practices in Contact Jersey

It appears that there is a very good chance that Mark Stone will be available to play for the Vegas Golden Knights on opening night. The captain practiced in a full-contact jersey on Monday with the team.

This is certainly a notable step in the right direction. If he has no setbacks due to this change, there's no question that he will be in Vegas' lineup in their first regular-season game. The 30-year-old was limited to only 37 games this past season due to a lingering back injury, where he had nine goals and 21 assists.
