LAS VEGAS \u2014 Vegas Golden Knights captain Mark Stone,<\/a> who has missed the past five games because of a lower-body injury, not only played in Sunday\u2019s 5-3 victory over the Colorado Avalanche<\/a> , his goal sparked the comeback.<\/p>

Stone scored a power-play goal 19 seconds into the second period to start a rally from a 3-0 deficit and ultimately give the Golden Knights a 3-0 series lead.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t like watching, ever. I want to play every game,\u201d Stone said. \u201cIt\u2019s been an unfortunate part of my career, sitting out. This time of year it\u2019s definitely harder. But when the guys are playing the way they\u2019re playing it makes it a little bit easier. Come to the rink with a smile on my face every day. Helps when you\u2019re winning. It\u2019s great to be around the guys and now it\u2019s great to be back on the bench.\u201d<\/p>\n

Golden Knights coach John Tortorella announced before the game Stone would be back in the lineup.<\/p>\n

\u201dHis talent speaks for itself, but his character and leadership, just to have him back in the room, get his voice back, is going to be huge for our team,\u201d Golden Knights defenseman Noah Hanifin said. \u201cAny time he comes back, it\u2019s like he didn\u2019t miss a beat.\u201d<\/p>

Stone, hurt in Game 3<\/a> of the second-round series at Anaheim, showed few if any limitations while taking part in an optional skate Saturday. He also skated when the team was in Denver for the first two games of the series.<\/p>\n

His 28 goals and 73 points in the regular season were Stone\u2019s highest in seven years, and he has produced four goals and five assists in 10 playoff games this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one wants to be out there more than Mark,\u201d Hanifin said. \u201cHe\u2019s one of the most competitive guys I\u2019ve played with in my career.\u201d<\/p>
