The 28-year-old delivered a career-high 94 points over 77 regular-season appearances, and Eichel will need to stay hot as the Knights try to get past the Oilers to reach the Western Conference Finals.

Eichel notched a power-play assist, six shots on goal, four hits and a minus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Wild in Game 4.
EDGE Analysis
Prior to Saturday, Eichel had fallen flat this postseason. The helper was his first point in four playoff games, and he's added 11 shots on net, 11 hits and a minus-7 rating while centering the top line as usual. With the Wild's top line and first power-play unit grabbing headlines, Eichel and the Golden Knights are fortunate to head back home with the series tied at 2-2. The 28-year-old will likely need to improve in the remainder of this series to avoid an early exit from the playoffs.

Eichel scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Eichel missed four games due to an upper-body injury. He led all Vegas forwards with 21:28 of ice time in the regular-season finale, so there's no need to be worried about his health entering the playoffs. The 28-year-old finished with a career-high 94 points (28 goals, 66 assists) while adding 233 shots on net, 55 blocked shots and a plus-32 rating over 77 appearances. He'll be a massive part of the Golden Knights' offense in the first round versus the Wild.

Eichel (upper body) won't be in the lineup versus the Flames on Tuesday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Eichel will miss his fourth straight game. His final chance to play before the playoffs will be versus Vancouver on Wednesday. Eichel has accumulated 27 goals, 93 points and 231 shots on net across 76 appearances this season.

Eichel (upper body) is practicing with the team but remains day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's game versus Calgary, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Based on head coach Bruce Cassidy's comments, it seems likely Eichel will sit out at least one, if not both, of the Golden Knights' back-to-back versus Calgary and Vancouver on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively. In his last four contests, the 28-year-old center was held without a point, leaving him seven points shy of reaching the 100-point threshold for the first time in his NHL career.
