Mark Stone (born May 13, 1992 in Winnipeg , Manitoba ) is a Canadian ice hockey player who has been under contract with the Vegas Golden Knights of the National Hockey League since February 2019 and plays there in the position of right winger . Before that, Stone was under contract with the Ottawa Senators for almost eight years . With the Canadian national team , he won the gold medal at the 2016 World Cup . In terms of his style of play, Stone is considered a power forward . His older brother Michael is also a professional ice hockey player.

Career

Stone first played until 2008 in his hometown with the Winnipeg Thrashers , a Midget AAA team from the Manitoba Midget Hockey League . In his last season for the Thrashers he scored 40 points in 56 games and took part in the Telus Cup with the team .

Then Stone moved in the summer of 2008 to the Brandon Wheat Kings from the Western Hockey League . There he came in his first season in 56 games on 39 points, including 17 goals. The striker finished the ranking of all rookies in the WHL in shared twelfth place. In the play-offs of 2009 he let four more points follow in twelve games. The 2009/10 season began with Stone being listed among the top 50 players in all relevant talent lists for the 2010 NHL Entry Draft . Due to a concussion and a thumb injury , the attacker only played 39 games in the regular season , in which he posted 28 points. In the play-offs, Stone finally completed 15 games. He also took part with the Wheat Kings in the Memorial Cup 2010 , as the team had been chosen to host the traditional cup before the start of the season . In the semifinals, Brandon failed there because of the Calgary Hitmen , where Stones' two years older brother Michael played as a defender . Mark Stone could not score any scorer points in five tournament games.

During the summer break, the right winger was selected in the sixth round of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft in 178th position by the Ottawa Senators . In September he took part in the training camp of the franchise from the National Hockey League , but was given back to the Brandon Wheat Kings early. In his third WHL season , Stone improved significantly and was the best scorer of his team with 106 points and shared third best of the entire WHL together with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and behind Linden Vey and Tyler Johnson . With 69 assists he was also in this statistic in third place in the Western Hockey League. At the end of the season, his achievements brought him a call to the First All-Star Team of the WHL Eastern Conference. The winger closed the play-offs with ten more points from six games after Brandon was eliminated in the first round.

In September 2011, Stone attended the Ottawa Senators training camp for the second time. Although he was again sent early to the Western Hockey League, he signed an entry-level contract with the NHL team for a period of three years. Back with the Wheat Kings, he was named team captain in his fourth year there .

He spent the 2014/15 season completely in the NHL for the first time, having previously been used mainly in the American Hockey League for the farm team Binghamton Senators , and scored 64 scorer points in 80 games, which he (together with Johnny Gaudreau ) all rookies of League led. As a result, he was nominated alongside Gaudreau and Aaron Ekblad for the Calder Memorial Trophy , which Ekblad later won. Stone was also elected to the NHL All-Rookie Team . In the following years, Stone established himself and became one of the team's top performers, always scoring around 60 points per season. After the newly established Senators saw no chance in February 2019 to extend the expiring contract of the Power Forward, they transferred it to the Vegas Golden Knights together with Tobias Lindberg . These compensated Ottawa with the highly regarded young talent Erik Brännström as well as with Oscar Lindberg and a second-round vote in the NHL Entry Draft 2020 . In addition, Stone signed a new eight-year contract directly in Las Vegas, which should earn him an average annual salary of $ 9.5 million starting the 2019/20 season.

International

Stone represented his home country for the first time at the 2012 U20 World Youth Championship , which took place in the Canadian cities of Calgary and Edmonton . After losing to Russia in the semi-finals and beating Finland in third place, the Canadians won the bronze medal. With ten points, including seven goals, Stone finished the tournament as the best scorer and goalscorer of the maple leaves . He was fourth among the scorers of the entire tournament and second among the scorers. He led the plus / minus statistics with a value of +10.

At the 2016 World Cup , Stone made his debut in Team Canada and won the gold medal with the team. In his second World Cup participation in 2019 , Stone led the team to win the silver medal. With eight goals he was the top scorer in the World Cup. In addition, it was named the most valuable player and considered for being a member of the All-Star Team.
