Golden Knights' Stone, Pietrangelo out vs. Wild

Vegas Golden Knights captain Mark Stone and defenseman Alex Pietrangelo will not be in the lineup against the Minnesota Wild on Monday night, the team announced.

Stone appeared to suffer a minor injury late in the second period of Saturday's contest and missed the remainder of the game. Head coach Pete DeBoer said postgame that Stone was held out as a precaution and his concern was minimal, according to Las Vegas Review Journal's David Schoen.

In the same game, Pietrangelo appeared to get hurt after blocking a shot off his wrist.

Stone was named the NHL's first star of the week earlier Monday after recording 10 points in his past four games. Pietrangelo has also been red-hot of late, racking up one goal and five assists in his last seven games while averaging 24:57 of ice time.
