Eichel (neck) will be in the lineup against Colorado on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Eichel will be playing in his first game since March 7, 2021, against the Islanders when he was still with the Sabres. While it's hard to know exactly what to expect out of the 25-year-old Massachusetts native the fact remains he has racked up 355 points in 375 career NHL games and should be right around that point-per-game pace once up to full speed. For the Knights, Eichel is set to take on the first-line center role in addition to linking up with the top power-play unit. In a corresponding roster move, Vegas placed Mark Stone (back) on long-term IR in order to give it the cap space to activate Eichel.
