Two More Assists for Jack Eichel in Loss
6 years agoBuffalo Sabres center Jack Eichel recorded two assists in Saturday night's loss to Columbus. Eichel now has six points in his last four games but has not scored a goal eight games. He has only had a streak of eight or more games without a goal one other time in his career, so a goal drought of this magnitude is unfamiliar territory for Eichel. A poor 6.7 percent shooting percentage, far below his 9.8 percent career average, stands out as a big reason for his scoring woes. Despite that, he is still averaging a point per game and generating 4.09 shots per game so he is still providing fantasy value and there is every reason to think he will start putting pucks in the net again. If ever there was a time to buy low on Eichel, this would be it.
