Stone (lower body) upgraded to a regular jersey at Tuesday's practice, according to Jesse Granger of The Athletic.

Stone appears to be close to returning from a 12-game absence. Head coach Bruce Cassidy said that the 32-year-old can start taking contact, and the club will monitor how Stone handles the increased workload at practice in the coming days. The right-shot winger won't suit up Tuesday against Edmonton, but he hasn't been ruled out for Wednesday's divisional matchup in Anaheim. Stone will slot back into a top-six role, and he'll provide an added boost to a Vegas power play that ranks fifth in the NHL (27.4 percent).
