The Colorado Avalanche will be bolstered by the return of Mark Stone for Game 3 of the Western Conference final against the Dallas Stars. Stone, a key forward and one of the team's top scorers, has been out since suffering an injury in Game 1. His presence will undoubtedly boost the Avalanche's offense, which has struggled to find its rhythm in the absence of its star player. Meanwhile, defenseman Cale Makar's status for Game 3 remains uncertain, leaving the team to anxiously await word on his availability.
