Jack Eichel Returns To Practice Tuesday
9 months agoVegas Golden Knights center Jack Eichel returned to practice for the first time on Tuesday after suffering an injury in a 2-1 overtime loss to the Boston Bruins on Jan. 11. The veteran skated in a non-contact jersey and will not suit up for Tuesday's tilt versus the Toronto Maple Leafs. "It's good to have him around just for his sake too," Vegas head coach Bruce Cassidy said. "He's not ready to play yet, but when he's skating and with this group he's that one step closer, so I think it's great." It's been a productive season for the nine-year NHLer as Eichel has recorded 19 goals and 44 points across 42 games. His 20:32 of average ice time is the second-highest of his career. The Golden Knights sit second in the Pacific Division with a 32-19-7 record on the campaign.
