We've had so much coverage today, there's no storylines left to tell. Talk about Tomas Vokoun's play here. Talk about Mark Stone entering the lineup here. Talk about random badassery here. What is there left for me to talk about? Well, I think you know, but before we get to that, here are the lines we can expect tonight from the ever-reliable Sylvain St-Laurent: Michalek-Spezza-Stone Silfverberg-Turris-Alfredsson Smith-Zibanejad-Neil Greening-Pageau-Condra Méthot-Karlsson Cowen-Gonchar Phillips-Benoît Anderson (starter) Lehner (the last known survivor) Milan Michalek di...

Mark Stone is expected to be in and Cory Conacher will likely be out of the Ottawa Senators lineup in Game 4 against the Pittsburgh Penguins Wednesday.

The Senators' official Twitter feed acknowledged that prospect Mark Stone may draw into the lineup tonight against Pittsburgh, and Don Brennan sees it as something of a sure thing. If he plays, he'll replace Cory Conacher and play on a line with Jason Spezza. Stone made an appearance in last year's playoffs but was later removed for Jakob Silfverberg, a decision that Don Cherry thought cost the Senators the series. Don was wrong, of course, but Stone did show some flashes of brilliance during the series, particularly his beautiful assist on a Jason Spezza goal. The reason that the Sena...

Let's get one thing straight: Mark Stone is not part of the cavalry who's going to come in and "rescue" the Ottawa Senators, despite what The Province's headline writers might lead you to believe. He's a 20-year-old player who returned days ago from an injury that kept him off the ice for a month and a half and also isn't even scoring at a point-per-game rate in the American Hockey League. It's possible that he could come in and lead this team offensively, yes, but it's more likely that Peter Regin does that. Or Kyle Turris. Or Zack Smith. Stone is a great and promising prospect, but h...

The future is now, it seems. And if you weren't convinced with the previous inclusion of nine rookies (plus Robin Lehner and Andre Benoit, who aren't considered rookies due to technical reasons) on the roster, the re-introduction of yet another highly-touted prospect is proof positive: Mark Stone has been recalled by the Ottawa Senators, and is expected to make his season debut for the team on Wednesday night. (To make room for Stone and off-set his loss, the Sens sent Derek Grant back down to Bingo.) Stone would likely have made his season debut in Ottawa previously, but suffered an i...

Moving up one spot from last year, Mark Stone finds himself at #9 on our list. By now Sens fans are all familiar with his story: limited by injuries (concussion, broken finger) during his draft year, Stone put up 28 points that the season, allowing the Sens to draft him in the sixth round, 178th overall in 2010. Healthy during his final two years in junior, Stone exploded offensively: he scored 37 goals and 106 points in 71 games in 2010-11 and 41 goals and 123 points in 66 games in 2011-12 for the Brandon Wheat Kings of the WHL. While he started to get noticed by Sens fans during his...
