Vegas Golden Knights center Jack Eichel dished out two assists in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win against the Minnesota Wild. He had both of his helpers in the opening period, setting up William Karlsson during a short-handed situation and assisting Mark Stone on his first postseason goal of the year. Eichel led the team in ice time with 23:30 and had five shots on goal with two blocks and one hit. Vegas is now one win away from advancing to the second round, although its big guns have had a slow start in the postseason. This prompted head coach Bruce Cassidy to split up his top line for Game 5. Eichel was paired with Karlsson and Pavel Dorofeyev. Things clicked for Eichel after he had posted only one point -- a power-play assist -- over the first four games of the series.

Vegas Golden Knights center Jack Eichel (upper body) found the back of the net in his return on Wednesday evening during their victory over the Vancouver Canucks. Eichel missed the previous four games due to an upper-body injury but was able to see some action prior to the Stanley Cup Playoffs. He would find the back of the net in the final frame on a tip-in. Before his injury, Eichel was also riding a four-game scoreless streak. However, before the slump, the 28-year-old scored six goals and added seven helpers over his last six contests. During this stretch, Eichel logged 13 shots on goal and held a +9 rating. Through 77 total games this season, Eichel has scored 28 goals and added an impressive 66 helpers. He will be viewed as a top play in DFS during the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Vegas Golden Knights center Jack Eichel (upper body) will remain sidelined for Saturday's tilt against the Nashville Predators. Eichel has gone scoreless in each of his last four appearances and suffered a further late-season blow by picking up an upper-body injury. However, he was on the ice with the team on Saturday morning, so it looks like the 28-year-old superstar is feeling better and moving in the right direction ahead of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Eichel will have two more opportunities to return during the regular season, as the Golden Knights close out their schedule next week with a back-to-back against the Calgary Flames and Vancouver Canucks. Brett Howden is set to continue as the first-line center on Saturday night.
