The team was able to beat Boston with Stone in the lineup, it's not like they can't get it done with him dressed against the Predators. I'm more concerned that we're going to see another wild swing in effort/execution from the group as a whole than having Stone or Gio in the lineup.

They were apparently targeting tonight for his return. It has to happen sometimes. He was close on Tuesday, he will be a game time decision tonight. If he plays it's because he's ready. 90% effectiveness doesn't always equal a higher chance of re-injury either. It may just mean he isn't at full game speed, but the chances of re-injury are the same as 100%.
Look, I'm always nervous when a guy comes back, but that's just me. Usually it's just fine.
