The Vegas Golden Knights could be without a key forward as they face elimination.
Mark Stone was not on the ice for the morning skate and head coach Bruce Cassidy told reporters that he will be a game-time decision ahead of Game 5 against the Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday.
The Golden Knights trail the Oilers 3-1 in the second-round series.
Also missing from the skate were defencemen Alex Pietrangelo and Brayden McNabb along with forward Brandon Saad, who are also going to be game-time decisions.
The team is proceeding forward with the expectation that Stone will not play, reported Sin Bin Vegas. The 33-year-old was forced to leave Game 3 with an undisclosed injury but played 21:42 in Game 4.
However, McNabb and Pietrangelo are expected to be able to play, Sin Bin Vegas added. Fellow blue liners Kaedan Korczak and Ben Hutton stayed on the ice with the scratches during morning skate.
Saad, meanwhile, is also dealing with an undisclosed injury. He played 16:11 in Game 2 of the series, registering one hit and one blocked shot. The 32-year-old has two assists in eight games this post-season.
