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.

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.

Michael Amadio is expected to take his spot in the lineup while William Karlsson should see a bump in playing time.
