Two Helpers From Jack Eichel Can't Help Sabres Overcome Devils
4 years agoBuffalo Sabres center Jack Eichel assisted on a pair of power-play goals on Sunday, but it was not enough to keep pace with the Devils in a 5-3 loss. Despite leading Buffalo with seven shots on net, Eichel failed to slip one past New Jersey netminder Eric Comrie. His two power-play assists will help keep his fantasy production afloat, but fantasy players are likely getting antsy as Eichel has only two goals in 10 games with a 5.1 percent shooting percentage. The important part is that Eichel is still generating 3.9 shots per game, which is actually above his career average and suggests that he is still getting plenty of scoring opportunities. Eichel, who has two three-game point streaks already this season, will be looking to start building another on Tuesday against the Islanders.
