The Vegas Golden Knights have made history, becoming the first expansion team in NHL history to reach the Stanley Cup Finals. Leading the charge was their star forward Mark Stone, who has had an incredible season despite recovering from two back surgeries.
Stone was acquired by the Golden Knights in February of 2019, and he immediately made an impact on the team. He scored 11 points in his first 10 games with the team, and he continued to be a key contributor throughout the regular season. He finished the season with a career-high 62 points, and he was a key part of the team’s success in the playoffs.
However, Stone’s success this season was even more impressive considering that he had to overcome two back surgeries. He underwent the first procedure in April of 2018, and then had to go through a second surgery in December of 2018. Despite this, Stone was able to return to the ice in February of 2019 and he was able to play at a high level throughout the season.
Stone’s ability to overcome adversity and still perform at a high level is a testament to his determination and work ethic. He has been an inspiration to his teammates and fans alike, and his story is one of perseverance and dedication.
The Vegas Golden Knights have been an incredible story this season, and Stone has been at the forefront of their success. He has been a leader on and off the ice, and his determination to come back from two back surgeries is an example for us all. The Golden Knights may not have won the Stanley Cup this year, but they have made history and Mark Stone has been a huge part of that.
