After a season with the Winnipeg Thrashers of the Manitoba Midget 'AAA' Hockey League, in which he competed in the 2008 Telus Cup, and won top scorer in the tournament, Stone began his major junior career with the Brandon Wheat Kings of the Western Hockey League (WHL) in 2008–09. He recorded 39 points (17 goals and 22 assists) over 56 games, tying for 12th in WHL rookie scoring.{{cite web|title=2008-09 Regular Season - Rookies|url=http://www.whl.ca/stats/show/type/top_scorers/ls_season/231/subtype/4|access-date=December 26, 2011|publisher=Western Hockey League|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111220193805/http://www.whl.ca/stats/show/type/top_scorers/ls_season/231/subtype/4|archive-date=December 20, 2011}} During the 2009 playoffs, he added four points (one goal and three assists) over 12 games. The following season began with Stone ranked in the top 50 on several major scouting lists for the upcoming 2010 NHL entry draft. Suffering a concussion and thumb injury during the season, he was limited to 28 points (11 goals and 17 assists) over 39 games, hindering his final draft ranking among scouts. Healthy during the playoffs, he competed in all the Wheat Kings' 15 contests, recording a goal and three assists. Although the Wheat Kings were eliminated in the WHL Conference Finals, they advanced to the 2010 Memorial Cup by way of having been chosen as the host team at the beginning of the year. Playing in the semi-final against the Calgary Hitmen, Stone competed opposite his older brother, Michael.{{cite news|title=Mark Stone's rival brother is watching|url=https://calgaryherald.com/sports/Mark+Stone+rival+brother+watching/5911446/story.html?cid=megadrop_story|access-date=December 26, 2011|date=December 26, 2011|work=Calgary Herald|last=Odland |first=Kristen}} The Wheat Kings beat the Hitmen in dramatic fashion to advance to the Memorial Cup Final, which they lost to the Windsor Spitfires; Stone had no points in five tournament games. During the off-season, he was selected in the sixth round, 178th overall, by the Ottawa Senators in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft. Stone was scouted as a power forward with weak skating.

Stone appeared in his first NHL training camp in September 2010 and was returned to junior for the subsequent season. Playing in his third WHL campaign, Stone emerged with 106 points (37 goals and 69 assists) over 71 games, first on his team and third in WHL scoring.{{cite web|title=2010-11 Regular Season - All Players |url=http://www.whl.ca/stats/show/type/top_scorers/ls_season/236 |access-date=December 26, 2011 |publisher=Western Hockey League |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111216174453/http://www.whl.ca/stats/show/type/top_scorers/ls_season/236 |archive-date=December 16, 2011 }} His performance earned him a spot on the WHL East First All-Star Team at the end of the year. During the post-season, Stone recorded ten points over six games as the Wheat Kings were eliminated in the first round. Returning to the Senators' training camp for the second year, he was signed to a three-year, entry-level contract before being sent back to the Wheat Kings for the 2011–12 season. Back in junior, Stone was named Brandon's new team captain, replacing Shayne Wiebe,{{cite web|title=Team Captaincy History - Brandon Wheat Kings|url=http://www.eliteprospects.com/team_captaincy_history.php?team=857|access-date=December 26, 2011|website=EliteProspects.com}} who had turned professional.{{cite web|title=Shayne Wiebe|url=http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=19163|access-date=December 26, 2011|website=EliteProspects.com}} Cory Clouston, the Senators' head coach from Stone's first training camp with the team, had been fired and became the Wheat Kings' new coach. He praised Stone as an intelligent hockey player and for improving his core strength from the previous year. During the season, he was selected to compete for Team WHL against the Russian under-20 select squad in the 2011 Subway Super Series. He recorded a goal and an assist in one of the contests on November 17, 2011, to be named the player of the game.{{cite news|title=Ottawa Senators rising stars: Mark Stone|url=https://ottawacitizen.com/sports/Ottawa+Senators+rising+stars+Mark+Stone/5739139/story.html|access-date=December 26, 2011|date=November 20, 2011|work=Ottawa Citizen|author=Warren, Ken}} In December 2011, Stone was chosen as one of 16 nominees for the 54th annual H.

(Krug) Crawford Memorial Award for sporting excellence in southwestern Manitoba.{{cite news|title=Mark Stone nominated for sporting award |url=http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews/Mark-Stone-nominated-for-sporting-award-136271393.html |work=Winnipeg Free Press |date=December 27, 2011}}

Stone concluded his junior career following the 2011–12 season by being named the winner of the Brad Hornung Trophy as the WHL's most sportsmanlike player, after finishing the season as the WHL's second-leading scorer with 123 points and being named an Eastern Conference First Team All-Star.{{cite web |title=Stone caps brilliant junior career with WHL honour |url=http://senators.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=630525 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120714060826/http://senators.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=630525 |url-status=dead |archive-date=July 14, 2012 |publisher=Ottawa Senators |first=Rob |last=Brodie |via=NHL.com}}

On April 20, 2012, the Ottawa Senators announced Stone would be joining the team and would likely make his NHL debut for the Senators on April 21 in Game 5 of their first round playoff series against the New York Rangers.{{cite news |title=Mark Stone joins the Ottawa Senators |url=https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=393736 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120423125413/http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=393736 |url-status=dead |archive-date=April 23, 2012 |work=TSN |date=April 20, 2012}} Stone did indeed play, recording an assist on the winning goal scored by Jason Spezza.{{cite web| url = https://ottawasun.com/2012/04/21/anderson-steals-win-for-sens | title = Anderson steals win for Sens |work=Ottawa Sun |last=Garrioch |first=Bruce | date = April 22, 2012 | access-date = April 22, 2012}} Stone made his NHL regular season debut nearly one year later, on March 6, 2013, against the Toronto Maple Leafs. He scored his first NHL goal on January 4, 2014, against Carey Price of the Montreal Canadiens. Stone split the 2013–14 season between Ottawa and their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Binghamton Senators, recording 4 goals and 8 points in 19 NHL games.

Stone made the Senators' opening night line-up for the 2014–15 season and subsequently enjoyed success on the all-rookie "Kid Line" alongside Mike Hoffman and Curtis Lazar. That offensive success resulted in the Senators announcing on November 7, 2014, that Stone would be staying with the NHL club for the remainder of the season.{{cite web |title=Warren: Mark Stone, Mike Hoffman staying put in Ottawa, too |url=https://ottawacitizen.com/sports/hockey/nhl/senators-extra/mark-stone-staying-put-in-ottawa-too |last=Warren |first=Ken |work=Ottawa Citizen |date=November 7, 2014 |access-date=October 15, 2023}} As the season progressed, Stone became one of Ottawa's top-six forwards, scoring 16 goals and 43 points in his first 62 games and receiving mention as a Calder Memorial Trophy candidate as the NHL's top rookie. He led all NHL players in scoring after the 2015 all-star break. Stone ended the 2014–15 season tied for the rookie scoring lead with the Calgary Flames' Johnny Gaudreau, with 64 points (26 goals, 38 assists) in 80 games, along with leading the NHL in takeaways (98).{{cite web |title=Stone, Hoffman Calder material |url=http://www.ottawasun.com/2015/03/08/stone-hoffman-calder-material |last=Brennan |first=Don |work=Ottawa Sun |date=March 8, 2015 |access-date=October 15, 2023}} However, on April 15, Stone suffered a fractured wrist from a slash by Montreal player P. K. Subban. Subban was assessed a five-minute major and game misconduct as a result.{{cite web |title=Mark Stone suffers fractured wrist from P.K.

On April 23, 2015, Stone was nominated for the Calder Memorial Trophy, though he ultimately finished second in voting to Florida Panthers' defenceman Aaron Ekblad.{{cite web |url=https://www.nhl.com/news/panthers-rookie-ekblad-wins-calder-trophy/c-772058 |title=Panthers rookie Ekblad wins Calder Trophy |publisher=National Hockey League |date=June 24, 2015 |access-date=April 10, 2016 |archive-date=May 8, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160508004905/https://www.nhl.com/news/panthers-rookie-ekblad-wins-calder-trophy/c-772058 |url-status=dead }} On June 25, 2015, Stone signed a three-year contract extension with the Senators worth an average annual value of $3.5 million, with former Senators general manager Bryan Murray calling Stone "one of [the team's] better players, if not one of the best".{{cite web |url=https://www.nhl.com/news/senators-agree-to-terms-with-stone-zibanejad/c-772132 |title=Senators agree to terms with Stone, Zibanejad |publisher=National Hockey League |date=June 25, 2015 |access-date=April 10, 2016 |archive-date=May 7, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160507223808/https://www.nhl.com/news/senators-agree-to-terms-with-stone-zibanejad/c-772132 |url-status=dead }}

Stone appeared in most of the Senators' games during the 2015–16 season, scoring 61 points across 75 games. He led the NHL in takeaways for the second-straight season and was one of the best-performing players after the All-Star Game break.{{cite news |url=https://ottawacitizen.com/sports/local-sports/stone-provides-troubled-sens-with-hope-for-future |title=Stone provides troubled Sens with hope for future |newspaper=Ottawa Citizen |first=Ken |last=Warren |date=March 24, 2016 |access-date=April 10, 2016}} On a March 30 game against the Winnipeg Jets, Dustin Byfuglien delivered a devastating bodycheck to Stone that forced Stone to immediately leave the ice for concussion tests.{{cite web |url=http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/mark-stone-leaves-game-chest-injury-huge-byfuglien-hit/ |title=Mark Stone leaves game with chest injury after huge Byfuglien hit |work=Sportsnet |date=March 30, 2016 |access-date=April 10, 2016}} Though Stone returned to the ice later that game, he would not appear in the remaining games of the season.{{cite news |url=https://ottawacitizen.com/sports/hockey/nhl/senatorsextra/mark-stone-still-feeling-byfuglien-body-hit |title=Mark Stone still smarting from Byfuglien body hit |newspaper=Ottawa Citizen |first=Bruce |last=Garrioch |date=April 7, 2016 |access-date=April 10, 2016}}

During the 2016–17 season, Stone would score 54 points across 71 games and led the NHL in takeaways for the third-straight season with 96, surpassing second-placed Nick Schmaltz by 13.{{cite web |url=https://www.nhl.com/senators/news/by-the-numbers-the-forwards/c-288637996 |title=By The Numbers: The Forwards |publisher=Ottawa Senators |date=April 10, 2017 |access-date=April 17, 2017 |last=Fraser |first=Callum}}

Despite missing much of the 2017–18 season with injuries, Stone had a successful year production-wise with 62 points in 58 games. However, unable to come to terms with the Senators on a new contract, Stone filed for arbitration and was ultimately awarded a one-year extension that would make him an unrestricted free agent the following offseason.

Although there was prolonged speculation that he would not remain with the Ottawa Senators after he did not come to terms on a contract extension, Senators general manager Pierre Dorion revealed in a podcast interview in 2023 that Stone was willing to stay with the Senators and Dorion was prepared to sign him to an eight-year contract, but Senators owner Eugene Melnyk ultimately vetoed the potential signing.{{cite podcast |url=https://open.spotify.com/episode/632mJvP3V4KD5t1zrbzwrk?si=i3yaYQ65SaObPMCRNl4KBw&nd=1 |title=Pierre Dorion on The Cam & Strick Podcast |website=Spotify |publisher=The Cam & Strick Podcast |host=Cam Janssen and Andy Strickland |date=May 30, 2023 |time=1:28:00 |access-date=July 22, 2023}}

At the 2019 trade deadline, Stone was traded to the Vegas Golden Knights, along with Tobias Lindberg, in exchange for Erik Brännström, Oscar Lindberg and a 2020 second-round pick.{{cite web| url = https://www.nhl.com/goldenknights/news/vegas-golden-knights-acquire-mark-stone-from-the-ottawa-senators/c-305205462 | title = Vegas Golden Knights acquire Mark Stone from the Ottawa Senators | publisher = Vegas Golden Knights | date = February 25, 2019 | access-date = February 25, 2019}} On March 8, 2019, he officially signed an eight-year, {{USD|76}} million contract extension to remain in Vegas.{{Cite web|url=https://www.nhl.com/goldenknights/news/vgk-sign-forward-mark-stone-to-eight-year-contract-extension/c-305594716|title=VGK Sign Forward Mark Stone To Eight-Year Contract Extension |publisher=Vegas Golden Knights|date=March 8, 2019 |language=en-US|access-date=March 8, 2019}} Stone finished the season as the league leader in takeaways with 122. For his excellent two-way play during the regular season, Stone was a finalist for the Frank J. Selke Trophy as the league's best defensive forward on April 17, along with Patrice Bergeron of the Boston Bruins and the St. Louis Blues' Ryan O'Reilly.{{cite web |url = https://www.nhl.com/news/2019-nhl-awards-selke-trophy-finalists/c-306816318?tid=280503612 | title = Selke Trophy finalists unveiled |publisher=National Hockey League | date=April 17, 2019}}

On April 14, 2019, Stone recorded his first career hat-trick to power the Golden Knights to a 6–3 victory against the San Jose Sharks in game three of the 2019 Stanley Cup playoffs. In doing so, Stone became the first Golden Knight player to record a hat-trick in the playoffs.{{cite web| url = https://www.nbcsports.com/video/mark-stone-scores-hat-trick-vegas-golden-knights-game-3 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20190415073115/https://www.nbcsports.com/video/mark-stone-scores-hat-trick-vegas-golden-knights-game-3 | url-status = dead | archive-date = April 15, 2019 | title = Stone posts hat trick for Golden Knights in Game 3 | website = NBC Sports | date = April 14, 2019}} The Golden Knights were eliminated by the Sharks in seven games in the first round, with Stone recording twelve total points from six goals and six assists.{{cite web|url=http://www.nhl.com/stats/player?=season&seasonFrom=20182019&seasonTo=20182019&gameType=3&filter=gamesPlayed,gte,1&sort=points,goals,assists|publisher=National Hockey League | title = 2018-19 season statistics | date = May 12, 2019 |access-date = May 12, 2019}} The following 2019–20 season ended prematurely as a result of the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, but the NHL subsequently arranged to hold the 2021 Stanley Cup playoffs in a bubble in Edmonton and Toronto.{{cite web|url=https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nhl/news/nhl-bubble-hub-city-rules-teams-schedule-edmonton-toronto/72k8vc0u630k19xalra66xa3c |title=NHL bubble, explained: A guide to the hub city rules, teams & schedule for Edmonton, Toronto |last=Gatto |first=Tom |magazine=The Sporting News |date=August 14, 2021 |access-date=June 15, 2023}} The Golden Knights reached the Western Conference Final, before being eliminated by the Dallas Stars.{{cite web|url=https://www.cbssports.com/nhl/news/stanley-cup-playoffs-2020-five-reasons-the-golden-knights-were-eliminated-by-the-stars/ |title=Stanley Cup Playoffs 2020: Five reasons the Golden Knights were eliminated by the Stars |last=Blackburn |first=Pete |website=CBS Sports |date=September 15, 2021 |access-date=June 15, 2023}}

Having been one of the team's alternate captains since his arrival in 2019, in advance of the shortened 2020–21 season Stone was named the first captain in Vegas Golden Knights history. General manager Kelly McCrimmon stated "we felt we had the obvious guy and that this was the time to name a captain."{{cite web|url=https://www.nhl.com/news/mark-stone-named-captain-of-vegas-golden-knights/c-320236442|publisher=National Hockey League |title= Stone named first captain of Golden Knights |last=Cotsonika |first=Nicholas J. |date= January 13, 2021 |access-date= June 15, 2023}} The regular season was a major success for the Golden Knights, who finished second in the league, behind the Colorado Avalanche.{{cite web|url=https://www.nhl.com/avalanche/news/avalanche-2020-21-presidents-trophy-winners/c-324701412|publisher=Colorado Avalanche |title= Colorado Overtakes Vegas To Win 2020-21 Presidents' Trophy |date= May 14, 2021 |access-date= June 15, 2023}} The postseason ended in disappointment, with the Knights reaching the semi-finals only to be defeated by the Montreal Canadiens in a series in which Vegas had been considered heavy favourites at the outset. Stone's performance in the series was subject to significant criticism, with the Las Vegas Sun remarking that he had "played the worst hockey of his Golden Knights' tenure at the worst time" after he recorded no points in the six-game series. Stone assessed that "I got skunked this series."{{cite web|url=https://lasvegassun.com/news/2021/jun/24/down-and-out-golden-knights-mark-stone-come-up-emp/ |title=Down and Out: Golden Knights, Mark Stone come up empty as season ends |last=Emerson |first=Justin |newspaper=Las Vegas Sun|date=June 24, 2021|access-date=June 15, 2023}}{{cite web|url=https://www.reviewjournal.com/sports/goldenknights/mark-stone-shoulders-blame-for-series-loss-to-canadiens-2386721/ |title=Mark Stone shoulders blame for series loss to Canadiens |last=Gotz |first=Ben |newspaper=Las Vegas Review-Journal|date=June 24, 2021|access-date=June 15, 2023}}

Back problems that had begun following the 2021 playoffs plagued Stone through the 2021–22 season, in which he was able to play only 37 games. He returned in the closing stretch as the team attempted to salvage a playoff berth, but this came to naught and the Golden Knights missed the postseason for the first time in franchise history. Subsequent to this, Stone underwent a lumbar discectomy in May 2022.{{cite web|url=https://www.nhl.com/news/mark-stone-long-rehab-pays-off-with-stanley-cup/c-344871746|publisher=National Hockey League |title= Stone overcomes injury, adversity to lead Golden Knights to Cup win |last=Benjamin |first=Amalie |date= June 14, 2023 |access-date= June 15, 2023}}

Stone's lumbar surgery had initial success, and he was able to return to the team lineup for the 2022–23 season. However, on February 12, 2023, he reinjured his back in a game against the Florida Panthers. This required a second surgery within a nine-month span, raising concerns among many that Stone's playing career might be over.{{cite web|url=https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/longform/inside-mark-stones-journey-from-career-threatening-injury-to-the-cusp-of-a-cup/ |title="Typical Mark Stone": Inside Mark Stone's journey from career-threatening injury to the Stanley Cup |last=Fox|first=Luke|website=Sportsnet|date=June 11, 2023|access-date=June 15, 2023}} He missed the remainder of the regular season, with the Golden Knights placing him on the long-term injured reserve (LTIR) list at the end of February.{{cite web|url=https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/golden-knights-place-mark-stone-on-long-term-injured-reserve/ |title=Golden Knights place Mark Stone on long-term injured reserve|website=Sportsnet|date=February 21, 2023|access-date=June 15, 2023}} Vegas then used the additional salary cap space created by Stone's LTIR to improve the team's roster, an action which was controversial to some in light of Stone being reactivated for the beginning of the 2023 Stanley Cup playoffs, when the salary cap no longer applied.{{cite web|url=https://www.reviewjournal.com/sports/sports-columns/ed-graney/knights-didnt-cheat-when-activating-stone-for-nhl-playoffs-2763262/ |title=Knights didn't cheat when activating Stone for NHL playoffs |last=Graney |first=Ed |newspaper=Las Vegas Review-Journal|date=April 17, 2023|access-date=June 15, 2023}} Stone proved a key part of the Golden Knights' deep run to the 2023 Stanley Cup Finals, where they defeated the Panthers in five games. He scored a hat trick in the Cup-clinching fifth game, becoming only the third NHL player to do so, and the first since Babe Dye of the Toronto St. Patricks in 1922.{{cite web|url=https://thehockeynews.com/news/mark-stone-joins-two-other-nhl-players-to-score-hat-trick-in-cup-winning-game |title=Mark Stone joins two other NHL players to score hat trick in Cup-winning game |last=Tovell |first=Jonathan |magazine=The Hockey News|date=June 14, 2023|access-date=June 15, 2023}} Stone finished fourth in voting for the Conn Smythe Trophy, awarded to the most valuable player of the postseason.{{cite web|url=https://www.thephwa.com/2023/06/14/phwa-ballots-jonathan-marchessaults-2023-conn-smythe-trophy-win/|title=PHWA Ballots: Marchessault's 2023 Conn Smythe Trophy win|last=Seravalli|first=Frank|publisher=Professional Hockey Writers' Association|date=June 14, 2023|access-date=June 15, 2023}}
