This former Sabres star is on fire.
Former Buffalo Sabres star forward Jack Eichel recently returned from injury for the Vegas Golden Knights, and he is starting to heat up big time. It is coming at the perfect time for the Golden Knights, too, as they are currently fighting to secure a playoff spot in the Western Conference.
Eichel, 27, has been extremely impactful as of late, posting two goals and seven points over his last four games. The Massachusetts native is showing no signs of slowing down and will now look to keep it going during this final stretch of the campaign.
Jack EichelEichel has also had a pretty strong season for the Golden Knights overall. In 48 games, he has 21 goals, 51 points, and a plus-3 rating. As a result, he has once again been one of the Golden Knights' most important players.
Eichel's play will be a significant factor in the Golden Knights' chances of making the playoffs, so seeing him stepping up his production is quite promising for them.
