Golden Knights' Mark Stone leaves game at Penguins with an undisclosed injury

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Vegas Golden Knights captainMark Stoneleft his team's game at the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday because of an undisclosed injury.

Penguins defenseman Kris Letang gave Stone aseemingly harmless shoveto the left arm with his stick in the neutral zone late in the first period, though it may have caught him in the gap between his elbow and shoulder pads. Stone grimaced in pain, went down to one knee and skated off.

Coach Bruce Cassidy said aftera 5-0 losshe assumes Stone will fly with the Golden Knights to Buffalo and figures to have a better update Monday.

"He was getting looked at," Cassidy said. "Upper body is all I was told, and we'll see where it lands."

The 33-year-old winger has a history of injuries sidelining him throughout his NHL career over the past decade-plus, includinga wrist injuryin the fall. He has never played all 82 games in a season since becoming a full-time player in the league with Ottawa in 2014-15.

Cassidy did not want to use Stone's departure as an excuse for getting shut out by Pittsburgh.

"Mark's had some injuries before, so guys are concerned for him — rightfully so," Cassidy said. "I think that would be the biggest effect: Is he OK, or did he reinjure something he's had in the past? Everybody's kind of worried about that."

Stone is Vegas' second-leading scorer with 60 points in 43 games. He just helpedCanada reach the finalat the Olympics beforelosing to the U.S.in overtime.

• King Charles' visit to the estate comes after Andrew was arrested at the home where he is currently staying at Sandringham on Feb. 19

King CharlesvisitedSandringham Estateover the weekend, but he did not see his brother, the formerPrince Andrew.

PEOPLE understands that the monarch, 77, was at the royal residence in Norfolk — where his younger brother Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, 66, is currently living — on Saturday, Feb. 28, and Sunday, March 1, but the pair did not cross paths.

The King did not see the former Duke of York, nor did he have any plans to, PEOPLE understands.

The King's appearance at the royal residence comes less than two weeks after Andrew wasarrestedon the Norfolk property.

The monarch's younger brother wasarrested on Feb. 19— his 66th birthday — on suspicion of misconduct in public office. He was arrested at the home where he is currently staying on the Sandringham Estate.

Authorities are investigating the former Prince Andrew in connection with an allegation that he shared confidential information with the late billionaire and convicted sex offenderJeffrey Epsteinwhile acting as a trade envoy for the United Kingdom.

Police arrested Andrew days after theBBCreported that authorities wereinvestigating a claim that Andrew shared confidential documents with Epsteinwhen he was in the position, which he assumed after retiring from the Royal Navy, from 2001 to 2011. The arrest is not in any way related to allegations of sexual misconduct, and Andrew has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing in connection with Epstein.

On the day of his brother's arrest, the Kingreleased a statement vowing that the palace would cooperate with policein the investigation.

PEOPLE understands thatBuckingham Palace was not informedof the arrest before it happened.

Andrew was then stripped ofhis royal titles days laterby King Charles.

Epstein died by suicide in 2019 at age 66 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking charges.

Former NFL safety Vonn Bell joining Deion Sanders' Colorado staff as an analyst

Former NFL safety Vonn Bell is now a member of Deion Sanders' coaching staff at Colorado, while Pro Football Hall of Famer Warren Sapp is not.

Bell last played in the NFL in 2024 when he returned for a fourth season with the Cincinnati Bengals. He played 139 games across nine seasons in the league after starting his career with the New Orleans Saints before joining Cincinnati ahead of their run to the Super Bowl in the 2020 season. He played one season in Carolina in 2023 before coming back to the Bengals.

Earlier in the week, Colorado said that Sapp had resigned from the coaching staff "to pursue other opportunities." Sapp was an analyst during the 2024 season and was the team's pass rush coordinator in 2025. After a nine-win season in 2024, Colorado was an abysmal 3-9 in 2025.

Longtime college football and NFL assistant Clancy Pendergast is also now a member of Colorado's coaching staff. Pendergast was a defensive coordinator for the Arizona Cardinals and Kansas City Chiefs before serving as defensive coordinator for both Cal and USC in the 2010s.
