Mark Stone Leads Golden Knights to Playoff Victory Over Wild

Vegas Golden Knights captain Mark Stone played a pivotal role in his team's 3-2 victory over the Minnesota Wild in Game 6, securing the series and advancing Vegas to the second round. After a slow start to the playoffs, Stone contributed significantly in the final three games, tallying multiple points and scoring the series-winning goal by redirecting a pass in front of the net. He also set up a crucial breakaway goal with a highlight-reel, long-distance pass to Jack Eichel, underscoring his importance as both a scorer and playmaker. Stone's leadership and clutch performances, alongside Eichel's breakout, were credited by teammates as key factors in overcoming a tough Minnesota team. The Wild, despite resilience and a strong effort, extended their playoff series losing streak to nine. Vegas will next face the winner of the Edmonton-Los Angeles series.
