He had the surgery on January 31st so we are closing in on a month and it’s still too early for anyone to be able to predict with any certainty what a timeline would look like. So it’s indefinite, that’s I believe how we announced it at the time. As we get further into this and there are different markers he needs to hit you can begin to then tighten that timeframe up but at this point it’s still too vague. He had major back surgery, so it’s going to be a rehab process that takes some time.”

2/13 – George McPhee expressed some optimism that Stone could return during the regular season. “It’s not unreasonable. We have some timelines, it’s just, is he going to hit them or not?”

2/6 – Bruce Cassidy on Mark Stone: “I cannot answer (if I expect him back this year). I’m not going to say he’s not expected back. That will depend on a certain amount of his individual recovery. I was told there’s an opportunity, but when that is I don’t know. If we can extend our season, which is our goal and always has been, then that obviously increases our odds. But right now I don’t know.”

2/1 – Official VGK statement: Mark Stone underwent successful back surgery on Tuesday, January 31. He will be out of the lineup indefinitely but is expected to make a full recovery.

The surgery was performed by Dr. Chad Prusmack in Denver, CO. Stone suffered the injury January 12 and began rehabilitation work shortly thereafter. After a setback, it was determined that surgery was the best course of action.

1/26 – “Hopefully on the other side of the break we’ll see him. That’s what I was told originally, that would be a good possibility, but I guess until we get back to Vegas that’s a tough one (to answer).” -Bruce Cassidy (Source: @JesseGranger_)

Injured on: 11/17/22

11/25 – Returned to action

11/23 – Cassidy says it “does not look good” for Roy to play this week.

11/19 – Roy did not play in Edmonton.

11/18 – Cassidy says Roy may not travel on the upcoming road trip. He’s unlikely to play tomorrow.

11/17 – Roy left the game early with what was later described as “lower-body aggravation.” He is not expected to miss time.

Keegan Kolesar
Injury: Illness
Injured On: 10/26/22

11/1 – Returned to action.

10/30 – Kolesar did not participate in warmups and thus will not play.

10/29 – Kolesar skated with the team but did not participate in line rushes in practice.

10/28 – Kolesar did not play in the afternoon’s game.

10/27 – Kolesar missed practice. Cassidy described it as an illness and said he does not want Kolesar around the team while he’s sick. His status is questionable for tomorrow’s game.

William Carrier
Injury: Mid-body
Injured On: 9/25/22

10/13 – Returned to action

10/12 – Cassidy sounded optimistic that Carrier will play tomorrow. Couldn’t confirm 100% though.

10/11 – Carrier traveled with the team to LA and skated after morning skate.

10/7 – Carrier has not resumed skating yet. His status for Opening Night is very much in jeopardy.

10/6 – Carrier did not travel.

10/5 – Carrier is not expected to travel to Salt Lake City tomorrow.

10/3 – Cassidy says Carrier is not likely to join the team until the end of the week at the earliest. He will not play tomorrow.

9/28 – Cassidy ruled Carrier out for the rest of the week. The hope is that he’s ready to go when the team returns from their trip to Montana this weekend.

9/26 – Cassidy termed the injury as “mid-body” while using his hands to gesture between the chest and the waist. He said Carrier was held out as a precaution and would have likely played the 3rd in a real game. But, upon further examination, it appeared to be a slightly worse injury. The team is off Tuesday and he is hopeful to be back skating Wednesday but it may take longer. Cassidy did not expect it to be a serious injury though.

9/25 – Carrier exited the preseason game after the 2nd period.

Zach Whitecloud
Injury: Upper-body
Injured On: 10/4/22

10/11 – Whitecloud returned to action.

10/7 – Cassidy says Whitecloud is skating but has not rejoined the team. He will likely not play tomorrow but has a chance to return for the opener.

10/6 – Whitecloud did not travel with the team to Salt Lake City and did not practice in the morning.

10/5 – Whitecloud was held out of practice as a maintenance day and is not expected to play in tomorrow’s game. Though Cassidy says he probably would not have played anyway.

10/4 – Whitecloud took a shot up high but continued to play the rest of the game.

Mark Stone
Injury: Back
Injured On: Recurring

9/30 – Returned to preseason action.

9/28 – Cassidy confirmed that Stone is expected to get into a preseason game soon.

9/22 – Stone participated in the first day of on-ice training camp wearing a red no-contact jersey.
