Great news for the Knights in that forward and captain Mark Stone will be ready to go for the opener. Stone last played Jan. 12 and underwent back surgery Jan. 31. In 43 appearances this year, he has supplied 17 goals and 38 points. Knights netminder Laurent Brossoit didn't have a regulation loss after debuting on Feb. 21. From Feb. 14 to the end of the season, Winnipeg was 13-14-2 for a .483 points percentage, the second-worst among playoff-bound teams during that span.
