Golden Knights' Jack Eichel: Taking leap forward
Rotowire
Eichel set up two goals Thursday in a 4-3 loss to the Lightning.
Eichel's season-long point streak now stands at five games and 10 points, as he's totaled two goals and eight assists. Eichel's most-productive season came in Buffalo in 2018-19 when he put up 82 points, including 54 assists. Injuries have kept him from taking a significant leap forward in his career, but that could be changing this year.
