The injuries continue to pile up for the defending Stanley Cup champions. On Thursday, Vegas Golden Knights head coach Bruce Cassidy announced that captain Mark Stone is out week-to-week with an upper-body injury.

Stone left Tuesday night's game against the Nashville Predators and did not return. Stone took a big hit from Predators winger Yakov Trenin, who was called for interference on the play, and the Vegas captain didn't take another shift.

During his press conference on Thursday, Cassidy said the Golden Knights would be without Stone for the immediate future. Right now, Vegas doesn't have a specific timetable for Stone's return.

"I think (general manager Kelly McCrimmon) summed it up yesterday," Cassidy said. "He's week-to-week. I don't have an idea on his return date. The medical team will update us as we go along. That's what we've got for him today."
