Jack Eichel Doubtful For Saturday Vs. Kings
3 years agoVegas Golden Knights center Jack Eichel (upper body) is doubtful to play on Saturday against the visiting Los Angeles Kings, head coach Peter DeBoer told the media on Friday. Eichel exited in the second period of Thursday's 5-3 win over the Florida Panthers after he blocked a shot with his hand. DeBoer didn't have an update on Eichel's status on Friday but said the young forward was in pain. Eichel has been a difference-maker for the injury-riddled Golden Knights, registering 10 points (five goals, five assists) in 15 games this season. If Eichel has to miss an extended period of time, it could hurt both Vegas' chances of being in the playoffs and fantasy managers' rosters.
