The Vegas Golden Knights have their captain back.

Mark Stone is back in the lineup on Saturday against the Vancouver Canucks, according to The Athletic's Jesse Granger.

He had been sidelined with a lower-body injury since Oct. 14. He was seemingly in some discomfort after taking a shot in the offensive zone against the Los Angeles Kings and was helped to the locker room.

Though the details surrounding Stone's ailment were unclear, the 29-year-old was able to avoid surgery.

Stone took part in line rushes alongside Chandler Stephenson and Evgenii Dadonov earlier Saturday.

His return is welcome news for the battered Golden Knights and their top line, which is also missing Max Pacioretty who is week-to-week with a fractured foot.

Stone has put up three assists in two games this season. The Golden Knights are 8-6-0 to start the year.
