Stone (undisclosed) won't play Wednesday in Game 5 versus the Oilers, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

He was also a game-time decision for Game 4 but was able to play in that contest. He'll need his teammates to dig deep for a win Wednesday, though it's unclear if Stone will be available should the Golden Knights force Game 6, which would be Friday in Edmonton.
