DALLAS -- Vegas Golden Knights captain Mark Stone said Monday that he will play in Game 1 of his team's Western Conference quarterfinal series against the Dallas Stars at the American Airlines Center.

Stone had been out of the Golden Knights lineup since Feb. 20 when he was diagnosed with a lacerated spleen. He was moved to long-term injured reserve where he remained until Saturday when he was cleared by the team to practice days before the Golden Knights' bid to win a consecutive Stanley Cup.

"The first couple weeks were real tough," Stone said of his injury and the recovery process.
