We're playing meaningful hockey this spring, fans will want to know when players will be expected back. Would be kind of ####y of them to withhold that information just to keep people's hopes falsely up.

Teams don't generally disclose severity of injuries at all any more, and it gets even worse in the playoffs. One of the reasons is that they don't want to give other teams an idea of where to be slashing and targeting if the injury isn't obvious.
As far as the Stone hit goes, looks pretty clear (from the one replay I saw before Sportsnet's garbage video player crapped out) that it was his shoulder.
