Welcome to the NHL Status Report. Here is the latest lineup/injury news around the NHL.

Vegas Golden Knights

Mark Stone is week to week with an upper-body injury the forward sustained in a 6-1 win against the Calgary Flames on Saturday.

Stone is out against the Carolina Hurricanes at T-Mobile Arena on Monday (10 p.m. ET; FDSNSO, SCRIPPS) and Vegas coach Bruce Cassidy said he won't travel for a three-game road trip beginning Saturday. "It [stinks], it really does for him," Cassidy said. "I feel for him, but he's always bounced back well. When we do get him back, whether that's the short, medium, or long term we don't know yet, I'm sure he'll pick up right where he left off." Brandon Saad will replace Stone on the top line with Ivan Barbashev and Jack Eichel against the Hurricanes.

"He's been obviously here for quite a while and waiting for an opportunity," Lambert said.
