The 28-year-old also added three shots on goal with a +2 rating in this contest. This game continued Jack Eichel's recent string of productive outings. Over his past nine games, the center has tallied 11 total points. During this stretch, he has only been held off the scoresheet twice and has posted four multi-point outings.

5 months agoVegas Golden Knights center Jack Eichel opened the 2024-25 NHL campaign with a playmaking clinic, finishing an 8-4 victory over Colorado with four assists. Eichel helped both of his linemates, Ivan Barbashev and Mike Stone, on the scoreboard in the first frame, contributed to a Zach Whitecloud goal in the second, and completed the damage with a power-play assist on Stone's second goal of the night in the third period. There had previously been only five occasions of a player notching four assists in the season opener since 2002-03. Eichel and Barbashev (two goals, two assists) established a new franchise record for most points scored in a season-opening game. It was a very productive start from Vegas' top line, and all three look set for a fruitful campaign if they don't run into any injuries.
