Unexpected Absences: How Mark Stone and Cale Makar’s Game 2 Sidelines Could Change the Western Conference Final Forever
Mark Stone and Cale Makar will both be out for Game 2 of the Western Conference Final tonight in Denver, leaving the Vegas Golden Knights and Colorado Avalanche without their captains at each end of the ice. Their absences reshape the matchup, the series, and even the Stanley Cup picture in real time.
Colorado already trails 1–0 after a 4–2 loss in Game 1 and now faces another night without its best defenseman. Vegas is up in the series but still has to navigate a fifth straight game without its emotional leader and top two‑way forward. For both coaches, the board just got a lot more complicated.
