No. 2: Mark Stone Leads Playoff Scoring

After going scoreless in game one, the Vegas Golden Knights will figure out their offense and make a run toward the Stanley Cup.

One big reason for their success will be Mark Stone.

Stone is a fantastic talent and if you don’t watch a ton of Golden Knights games, I recommend you do immediately. He’s one of the most underrated players in the league and has a natural ability to score.

In 55 games, Stone scored 21 goals and 61 points, leading the Golden Knights in scoring (stats: hockeydb.com). That touch will continue in the playoffs, as the Golden Knights try to reach their second Stanley Cup Final in their short existence.

It’s hard to predict the exact number of points that he’ll score, but we’ll give it a shot.

Prediction: Mark Stone will score 13 goals, 26 points in 25 games to lead all players in playoff scoring
