Vegas Golden Knights forward Mark Stone will not play against the Anaheim Ducks in Game 4 Sunday evening, head coach John Tortorella told reporters after the gameday skate.

Stone left the team’s 6-2 Game 3 win Friday night in Anaheim with an undisclosed injury. He had an assist in 4:24 of ice time before exiting.

Forward Brandon Saad will replace Stone in the lineup on Sunday. He has yet to play during the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

The veteran Stone has three goals and four assists in nine playoff games so far this season after having 28 goals and 45 assists in 60 regular-season contests.

Vegas leads the best-of-seven series 2-1 and looks to take a commanding 3-1 lead before things shift back to Sin City for Game 5 Tuesday evening.
