NHL PLAYER, Mark Stone

BIOGRAPHY

Born May 13, 1992 -- Winnipeg, Manitoba
Selected by Ottawa Senators round 6 #178 overall 2010 NHL Entry Draft

Mark Stone (born May 13, 1992) is a Canadian winger currently playing for the Vegas Golden Knights of the National Hockey League (NHL). A right winger, he was selected by the Senators in the sixth round, 178th overall, of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft. He tied Johnny Gaudreau to lead all NHL rookies in scoring during the 2014–15 season with 64 points and received a nomination for the Calder Memorial Trophy as the league's top rookie.

  Stone appeared in his first NHL training camp in September 2010 and was returned to junior for the subsequent season. Playing in his third WHL campaign, Stone emerged with 106 points (37 goals and 69 assists) over 71 games, first on his team and third in League scoring. His performance earned him a spot on the WHL East First All-Star Team at the end of the year. During the post-season, Stone recorded 10 points over six games as the Wheat Kings were eliminated in the first round. Returning to the Senators' training camp for the second year, he was signed to a three-year, entry level contract before being sent back to the Wheat Kings for the 2011–12 season.  

Stone concluded his junior career following the 2011–12 season by being named the winner of the Brad Hornung Trophy as the WHL's most sportsmanlike player, after finishing the season as the League's second-leading scorer with 123 points and being named an Eastern Conference First Team All-Star.  

On 20 April 2012 the Ottawa Senators announced that Stone would be joining the team and would likely make his NHL debut for the Senators on 21 April in Game 5 of their first round playoff series against the New York Rangers. Stone did indeed play, recording an assist on the winning goal scored by Jason Spezza. Stone made his NHL regular season debut nearly a year later, on 6 March 2013, against the Toronto Maple Leafs. He scored his first NHL goal on 4 January 2014 against Carey Price of the Montreal Canadiens. Stone split the 2013–14 season between Ottawa and their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Binghamton Senators, recording four goals and eight points in 19 NHL games.  

Stone made the Senators' opening night lineup for the 2014–15 season and subsequently enjoyed success on the all-rookie "Kid Line" along with Mike Hoffman and Curtis Lazar. That offensive success resulted in the Senators announcing on 7 November 2014 that Stone would be staying with the NHL club for the remainder of the season. As the season progressed, Stone became one of Ottawa's top-six forwards, scoring 16 goals and 43 points in his first 62 games and receiving mention as a Calder Memorial Trophy candidate as the NHL's top rookie. He led all NHL players in scoring after the 2015 all-star break. Stone ended the 2014–15 season tied for the rookie scoring lead with the Calgary Flames' Johnny Gaudreau, with 64 points (26 goals, 38 assists) in 80 games, along with leading the league in takeaways.  

On 23 April 2015 Stone was nominated for the Calder Memorial Trophy, though he ultimately finished second in voting to Florida Panthers' defenseman Aaron Ekblad. On 25 June 2015 Stone signed a three-year contract with the Senators worth an average annual value of $3.5 million, with former Senators general manager Bryan Murray calling Stone "one of [the team's] better players, if not one of the best."  

Stone appeared in most of the Senators' games during the 2015–16 season, amassing 61 points across 75 games. Stone lead the league in takeaways for the second straight season and was one of the best-performing players after the All-Star Game break.

At the 2019 trade deadline, Stone was traded to the Vegas Golden Knights in exchange for Erik Brännström, Oscar Lindberg and a 2020 2nd round pick. He subsequently agreed to an eight-year, $76 million contract extension to remain in Vegas.
