Mark Stone secures two-year extension through 2028-29
Key Questions
Why was Brayden McNabb suspended for Game 5?
McNabb received a one-game suspension following an incident during Game 4, removing a key defenseman from the lineup.
How does McNabb's absence impact the Golden Knights?
The suspension creates a major defensive hole, especially with Noah Hanifin already injured, forcing significant lineup adjustments for the road game.
What role has McNabb played for the team this postseason?
Alongside Shea Theodore, McNabb has been a guiding force on the blue line and central to the Knights' Stanley Cup hopes.
Stone's two-year, $18 million extension with a no-movement clause resolved his contract-year uncertainty before camp. His stated desire to retire in Vegas reinforces the leadership and long-term commitment themes, but recent coverage adds no new contract or injury development.
