In late May 1979, the Montreal Canadiens were on home ice with a 3-1 series lead and a chance to close out the New York Rangers for their fourth consecutive Stanley Cup to end the decade.

Thanks to two goals from Jacques Lemaire and 14 stops from Ken Dryden, the Habs got the job done with a 4-1 victory, winning their 22nd title in franchise history.

If the NHL resumes its 2019-20 campaign, Vegas Golden Knights winger Mark Stone will be ready to return from the injury that sidelined him before the pause.

Stone was deemed week-to-week due to a lower-body ailment on March 1, with his team in the thick of the Pacific Division playoff race. Over two months later, he's healthy enough to return.

"I'm good. Healing up," Stone told Gary Lawless of the club's website. "Still have a couple little obstacles to get over, but overall in a good spot. Just want to play hockey again."

"I don't know exactly the day I got hurt, but I think it has been almost 10 weeks now. When I first got injured, I was gunning to be back in four weeks," he added. "It's crazy how things can turn but I'm excited to be getting healthy and feeling at a 100 percent."

Stone missed six games before the coronavirus-induced season suspension on March 12. The 27-year-old two-way star ranks second on the team with 63 points in 65 games during his first campaign in Vegas.

The Golden Knights remain three points clear of the Edmonton Oilers atop the Pacific.

If you've ever wanted to live on a street named after your favorite hockey player, Las Vegas might be the place for you.

A new community in the city's north end is naming 30 streets after members of the 2017-18 Vegas Golden Knights, who went to the Stanley Cup Final in their historic inaugural season, according to construction and planning documents obtained by The Athletic's Jesse Granger.

"We wanted to capitalize on all the excitement that the Golden Knights bring to the city, and especially in northern Las Vegas," Taylor Morrison division president James Gomez said. "The community has been such an integral part of our growth and so supportive of our opening. The idea to name the streets after players' names has created quite a buzz and we've already had a lot of interest from different prospects on what street they will buy on, based on their favorite players."

Here's a list of all 30 streets:

Oddly enough, there are no reported street names for owner Bill Foley or sniper James Neal.

"The community is set to open in June 2020. It's our first Taylor Morrison product in Las Vegas, and we couldn't think of a more fitting way to honor the city," Gomez said.

Agent Allan Walsh says none of the NHL general managers he's spoken with support the idea of holding the draft in early June.

"I have not talked to one GM who likes it, and I talk to almost all of them," the agent said Thursday, according to The Associated Press' Stephen Whyno.

"The draft serves a lot of different purposes in giving GMs the tools to build their roster for the next year, apart from just drafting seven rounds of players," he added. "The cap teams - the (Toronto Maple Leafs and Tampa Bay Lightning) - are going to have to move at least one big contract to make it work. And the time to do it is at the draft. But you can't do it under a first week or second week of June scenario when you don't know if the season is canceled or whether we are really going to come back and play."

On Wednesday, Washington Capitals GM Brian MacLellan said of the draft that he believed the majority of his contemporaries "would like it to happen in a natural order."

Detroit Red Wings GM Steve Yzerman was more direct about the matter when asked about it April 30.

"My thought is: Why would you do that? Why would you need to do that?" he said, later adding, "I haven't heard a good reason why we should do it prior to the end of the season if we do conclude the season over the course of the summer."

Earlier in April, NHL commissioner Bill Daly confirmed that the league was considering holding a virtual draft in early June even if the season remains paused amid the coronavirus pandemic, though he noted it was one of several options being considered.

The league postponed the 2020 draft in late March, less than two weeks after halting the current campaign. It has yet to decide when the rescheduled - and potentially reformatted - event would be held.

Milan Lucic is amused by the fact that the hypothetical pick attached to his trade from the Edmonton Oilers to the Calgary Flames is currently up in the air.

The Oilers dealt the imposing forward and a conditional 2020 third-round selection to the Flames for winger James Neal last July. In order for the Flames to receive the pick, Neal has to score at least 21 goals in 2019-20, and Lucic needs to finish with at least 10 fewer markers than his counterpart.

Neal has 19 goals and Lucic has eight with the season paused.

"I think it's hilarious that that's what it's come down to right now," Lucic said Thursday on the "Spittin' Chiclets" podcast.

"If you ask me, I think the condition should stand," he added. "I just think it's funny that here we are with what should have been 12 games left and we're 11 goals apart.

"The shitty thing is, too, I had one (goal) and one (assist) in my last game, and I was starting to feel it again, and (Neal) just came off a pretty big injury ... I think I probably would have closed that gap from 11 goals. That's why I think it's funny that that's where that's sittin' at right now."

Neal potted all 19 of his tallies in his first 42 games with the Oilers, including a four-goal night in just his third contest with the club. Following an eight-game goalless skid, he suffered a foot injury in late January that forced him to miss the next month. Upon returning in March, he produced no markers and two assists in five contests.

Lucic collected four goals and nine points over his last 15 games, including two markers in his last four contests.

The fate of conditional picks included in trades remains uncertain with the NHL season on hold amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Edmonton played one more game than Calgary before the league postponed the campaign March 12.
