Stone sore after being hit by Byfuglien train, aims to return next week

Mark Stone is fine, somehow.

After the Ottawa Senators forward was demolished by Dustin Byfuglien on Wednesday, Stone's been checked out in Ottawa and is dealing with soreness, nothing more, according to the Ottawa Sun's Bruce Garrioch.

Here's the hit that left Stone with an upper-body injury, if there ever was one:

Stone, who has 23 goals and 61 points in 75 games, won't play Saturday against the Philadelphia Flyers, but is hoping to get back into games next week.

Ottawa's home to Pittsburgh and Florida on Tuesday and Thursday, before playing game No. 82 in Boston on Saturday.
