Top 25 Under 25, #1: Mark Stone

What a year it was for Mark Stone.

From healthy scratch to arguably the Senators top forward at the conclusion of the 2015-16 season, it only got better for the 23-year-old.

After consistently playing under 15 minutes a night under Paul MacLean, in early December, Stone was given a whole new role when Dave Cameron took over as head coach. Stone's minutes had been slowly increasing since the beginning of the season, but as soon as MacLean was fired, he began playing first line minutes instantly.

And it showed.

All the Winnipeg native needed was an opportunity.
