Eichel (illness) is day-to-day with a lower-body injury and won't join the Knights for their two-game road trip, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports Friday.
EDGE Analysis
At this point, Eichel could just be held out through the Christmas break in order to give him some extra time to get back to 100 percent, though he hasn't been officially ruled out for Tuesday's home clash with the Sharks. While the 29-year-old center has scored just once in his last five games, he has racked up eight helpers over that stretch, including three with the man advantage. Tomas Hertl figures to hold down the first-line center role while Eichel is unavailable.

Eichel (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Devils, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Eichel left Tuesday's practice early due to his illness, and he'll be unavailable for at least one game. He's considered day-to-day, and his next opportunity to suit up will be Saturday in Calgary. Reilly Smith and Alexander Holtz are candidates to enter the lineup in Eichel's absence.

Eichel (illness) left Tuesday's practice early, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis

Eichel notched two assists, one on the power play, in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
It's the fourth straight multi-point performance for Eichel, who helped set up two Mark Stone tallies in the OT win. Eichel is steaming toward the first 100-point campaign of his career if he can stay healthy, and through 30 games he's produced 12 goals and 40 points. Curiously, he's still looking for his first power-play tally in 2025-26, but he's hardly been invisible with the man advantage, collecting 15 assists -- second in the NHL to Mikko Rantanen's 17 power-play helpers.

Eichel recorded two assists and four shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Eichel had the primary helper on Noah Hanifin's opening goal before picking up the secondary assist on a marker by Ivan Barbashev early in the third period. Eichel is up to 26 assists, 38 points and 114 shots on net through 29 games this season. The 29-year-old center has a pair of points in each of his last three games, tying him for eighth in the league in points. After a career-high 94 points through 77 regular-season games a year ago, Eichel should contend for a similar number this season while leading one of the league's best offensive groups.

Eichel scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Eichel had the secondary helper on Tomas Hertl's tying goal at 19:08 of the third period. In overtime, Eichel's partial breakaway goal won it for Vegas at 4:52 of the extra session. The 29-year-old has four multi-point efforts over his last eight games, racking up four goals and eight assists in that span. For the season, he's at 12 goals, 36 points, 110 shots on net and a plus-6 rating through 28 appearances.

Eichel logged two assists, including one on the power play, and added three shots on goal in Friday's 3-0 win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Eichel has three helpers over his last four games, two of which have come on the power play. The 29-year-old center is up to 34 points (14 on the power play) through 27 outings this season. He's added 108 shots on net, 19 blocked shots, 13 hits and a plus-5 rating. Eichel can probably score at a higher rate -- his 10.2 shooting percentage is his lowest in any year as a Golden Knight, and he's on pace for a career-high total in shots.

Eichel scored a goal on three shots in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Eichel's point streak is up to four games (three goals, four assists). The 29-year-old center helped the Golden Knights form a comeback Wednesday, scoring early in the second period. For the season, he has 11 goals, 31 points, 94 shots on net and a plus-4 rating through 23 appearances in a top-line role. Eichel should continue to be the centerpiece of Vegas' offense, though the team can roll three strong lines now that Mark Stone is back from a wrist injury.

Eichel logged two assists, two shots on goal and two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Eichel set up Shea Theodore's opening goal and Tomas Hertl's power-play tally in the first period. With back-to-back multi-point efforts, Eichel looks to be heating up again as he builds chemistry with Braeden Bowman on the top line. Eichel has 10 goals, 19 assists (12 on the power play), 86 shots on net and a plus-7 rating over 21 appearances. Eichel has 30-goal potential when healthy, but he's also excelled in a playmaking role and that looks to be continuing this year after his career-high 66 helpers in the 2024-25 regular season.
