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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

Eichel pushed his point streak to six games and 13 points (six goals, seven assists) when he stuffed in a rebound to tie the game at 1-1 in the second period. Eichel sits fourth in NHL scoring with 93 points. He ranks fourth in assists (66) and sits in a 10-player tie for 39th in goals with 27. If Eichel continues at his current rate, he will deliver close to 105 points while being one of the league's strongest two-way players. A Lady Byng Trophy nomination could also be coming his way, as he hasn't spent much time in the sin bin.
