Eichel has been scratched from Thursday's game against the Flyers due to an upper-body injury.

EDGE Analysis

Eichel's injury will presumably force Conor Sheary back into the lineup as he was initially announced as a scratch in favor of 11 forwards and seven defensemen. The star pivot took part in warmups prior to the contest, so it's possible the issue occurred at some point just prior to puck drop. In any event, Eichel's looking at Saturday versus the Kings as his next opportunity to join the lineup.
