He was drafted in the third round, 79th overall, by the Minnesota Wild at the 2004 NHL Entry Draft. Stoner played his entire career with the Wild and the Anaheim Ducks franchises.

Prior to the beginning of the latter playing season, on June 26, 2004, Stoner was drafted by the Minnesota Wild with the 79th pick of the 2004 NHL Entry Draft. Stoner began his professional playing career with the American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate of the Wild, the Houston Aeros, where he played for four-and-a-half seasons. He eventually made his NHL debut in the 2009–10 season, playing in eight games and registering two assists and 12 penalty minutes.

That season, he scored his first career NHL goal on January 4, 2011, against Johan Hedberg of the New Jersey Devils. Stoner made headlines in 2014 in a fight against the Edmonton Oilers' Luke Gazdic, where Stoner had his finger in a "L"-shape, apparently dislocated. Nevertheless, Stoner was able to return to game with his finger taped up heavily, nearly engaging in another fight with Matt Hendricks, though the linesman separated the two before any punches were thrown. On March 18, 2014, Stoner scored his fourth career NHL goal on a breakaway against the New York Islanders. Emerging out of the penalty box as his boarding penalty expired, Wild captain Mikko Koivu sprung him on a breakaway, where Stoner made a deke and slipped the puck past Islanders goaltender Anders Nilsson into the net for his first goal of the season – and his first in nearly two years – to give the Wild a 4–0 lead in an eventual 6–0 win. During the 2012–13 NHL lock-out, Stoner played for HC '05 Banská Bystrica in the Slovak Extraliga, tallying five points.
