Eichel scored a goal on four shots, added two assists, went plus-2 and logged two PIM in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Eichel scored the second goal of the game. He also earned one of his two assists on the power play as Vegas pulled ahead 4-0 by the end of the second period. The 26-year-old didn't appear to have any rust in his first game since Dec. 9. He's up to 14 tallies, 32 points, 104 shots on net and a plus-19 rating through 28 contests overall, and his return should help bolster the Golden Knights' offense.

Eichel (lower body) took warmups on the second line and is set to play Thursday versus the Penguins, Ben Gotz of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
This was expected after Eichel was activated from injured reserve Tuesday, though the Golden Knights didn't commit to his return immediately. The 26-year-old will play alongside Reilly Smith and Nicolas Roy, as his return from an 11-game absence will lead to a shakeup among the forwards.

EDGE Analysis
Eichel hasn't been in the lineup since Dec. 9 because of the injury, but he was taken off the injured reserve list Tuesday. He has 13 goals and 29 points in 27 contests in 2022-23. If he plays Thursday, Eichel will likely play in a top-six capacity and serve on the first power-play unit.

Eichel (lower body) is considered day-to-day.
EDGE Analysis
Eichel remains on injured reserve, but the good news is his lower-body injury doesn't seem to be overly serious. Nonetheless, due to his placement on IR, the 26-year-old pivot won't be eligible to return to action until Saturday against the Islanders at the earliest, so he'll miss Vegas' next two games at a minimum.

Eichel (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Ben Gotz of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Eichel, who sat out Sunday's game against Boston, will miss at least a couple more contests this week. He returned to action from a two-game absence last Friday but his lower-body injury is still giving him some problems. Eichel has racked up 13 goals and 29 points in 27 games this season.

Eichel (lower body) will not play Sunday against Boston, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Eichel returned from a two-game absence Friday but he's not quite 100 percent healthy so he's back on the shelf. The 26-year-old has 13 goals and 29 points through 27 games this season. Michael Amadio is expected to take his spot in the lineup while William Karlsson should see a bump in playing time.
