• Golden Knights' Jack Eichel: Dealing with lower-body injury

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Eichel (illness) is day-to-day with a lower-body injury and won't join the Knights for their two-game road trip, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports Friday. At this point, Eichel could just be held out through the Christmas break in order to give him some extra time to get back to 100 percent, though he hasn't been officially ruled out for Tuesday's home clash with the Sharks. While the 29-year-old center has scored just once in his last five games, he has racked up eight helpers over that stretch, including three with the man advantage. Tomas Hertl figures to hold down the first-line center role while Eichel is unavailable.

• Golden Knights' Jack Eichel: Two helpers in Thursday's win

  10D ago • By RotoWire

  Eichel notched two assists, one on the power play, in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Flyers. It's the fourth straight multi-point performance for Eichel, who helped set up two Mark Stone tallies in the OT win. Eichel is steaming toward the first 100-point campaign of his career if he can stay healthy, and through 30 games he's produced 12 goals and 40 points. Curiously, he's still looking for his first power-play tally in 2025-26, but he's hardly been invisible with the man advantage, collecting 15 assists -- second in the NHL to Mikko Rantanen's 17 power-play helpers.
