The youth movement for the Ottawa Senators continues, as 21-year-old Mark Stone will enter the club's lineup for Game 4
Senators coach Paul MacLean wanted a bigger body around the opposing net -- something the 6-foot-2, 188-pound Stone can provide. Due to his previous experience with Spezza, Stone is expected to flank the veteran center on the right, with Milan Michalek skating on the left. The move has made Cory Conacher the odd-man out. Stone had 38 points in 54 games in the AHL this season.
The league award caps a heady few weeks for Stone, who was signed to an entry level contract by the Senators after attending the NHL club’s rookie camp for the second consecutive year. Stone had four goals and five assists with a plus-3 rating to lead the Brandon Wheat Kings to two wins and a shootout loss over the weekend.
Stone drew a good deal of press after signing his entry-level contract. Last season he scored 37 goals and 106 points with the Brandon Wheat Kings. He currently leads the entire WHL with 13 points.
OTTAWA - The Ottawa Senators announced today the club has signed forward Mark Stone to an entry-level contract.
Stone is coming off career highs in the WHL and likely returns there for this season following the preseason. His strong showing in rookie camp was enough to earn a new contract, however.
