EDGE Analysis

The Sabres' captain was unstoppable in this one, with Eichel scoring all four goals in Buffalo's 10th win of the 2019-20 campaign. With five goals and six points in his last three contests, it's safe to say he's no longer cold; previously, Eichel had gone three games without a single point, his longest drought of the season.

Eichel has been running hot or cold to begin the season with five scoreless efforts and four multi-point performances through 10 games, but his five goals and 12 points in total have kept fantasy GMs with season-long shares in the 22-year-old very happy.

Eichel netted a goal and posted four shots in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

Eichel did it himself, scoring an unassisted tally at 7:35 of the first period. Unfortunately for the Sabres, the Ducks made quite the comeback. The 22-year-old center has 10 points through seven games this season while adding 26 shots on goal. Six of his points are of the power-play variety.

He's been held without a point in Buffalo's other three contests.

It was a monster performance for Eichel, who also went 12-for-21 (57.1 percent) in the faceoff circle and led Buffalo forwards with 21:19 of ice time. He has seven points in his last three games after being held off the scoresheet in the season opener.

EDGE Analysis

After being held off the scoresheet in the Sabres' season opener, it was nice to see Eichel make an impact Saturday against New Jersey.

Eichel is among 17 players announced Thursday as part of Team USA's roster for the upcoming IIHF World Championship in Slovakia, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eichel is a highly competitive sort, so this isn't a surprise since the Sabres have yet to make the playoffs in his young career, so he's probably pining for glory after such a disappointing season for the team, one that saw coach Phil Housley get fired. Eichel, coming off an 82-point season, instantly becomes one of the top forwards for Team Red, White and Blue.
