Eichel only picked up an assist Saturday against the Blues, but he also posted eight shots in a 3-1 victory.

EDGE Analysis

After averaging 4.6 shots per game in January, Eichel was only recording 2.9 shots per night this month heading into Saturday. Therefore, it was great to see him flying around and getting pucks to the net. He only has one goal in his last 12 games, but that should change quickly if plays as he did versus the Blues. And Eichel has stayed fantasy relevant by contributing 10 assists during his 12-game goal slump.

Eichel notched two assists -- one on the power play -- in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win against the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

These were two huge points for Eichel. His man-advantage assist on Ryan O'Reilly's third-period goal helped spark the Sabres' comeback from a 4-1 deficit; the other was the lone helper on Evander Kane's overtime winner. Eichel's been a hit-or-miss fantasy asset lately -- he's posted five two-point efforts in his last 12 games, but zero points in the other seven contests during that span. That still adds up to a nice overall rate of production, though.

Eichel set up two Buffalo goals Saturday in a 4-0 win over Ottawa.

EDGE Analysis

Eichel's offence has come quietly this season, but he still has 23 points in 30 games. That's a 63-point pace which would be an improvement on his rookie season. If only Eichel hadn't missed so much time with that high-ankle sprain at the start of the season.

Eichel scored a pair of goals, including the overtime winner, in Tuesday's 5-4 road win against Nashville.

EDGE Analysis

Eichel's been putting up hit-or-miss stat lines lately, having netted three two-point games in his last six outings, but no points in the other three games. Nonetheless, the point pace is still quite stable, as he's nearly averaging a goal every other game since returning from his season-opening injury.

Eichel registered two assists and six shots on goal during Friday's overtime win against Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Eichel has sandwiched a five-game pointless skid with two strong stretches this season, and he's currently riding a 12-game run with five goals, 11 points and 54 shots. His high shot volume provides an excellent fantasy floor, especially in daily contests, and there is not denying his offensive ceiling. Still, until Eichel curbs the slow stretches that are typical of young players, it's difficult to include him among the full-fledged stars.

Eichel scored two goals and registered 10 shots on net during Monday's win over Dallas.

EDGE Analysis

It was the 10th tally of the campaign for the sophomore, and with only 17 points through 22 games, there are likely still better offensive days ahead. Eichel's high shot volume makes him a reliable target in daily contests, and he's a set-and-forget pivot in all seasonal leagues.

Eichel extended his point streak to three games and four points with his seventh goal of the season in a 3-1 loss to Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Eichel endured a five-game point drought leading into Christmas in which he was minus-4. But Santa must have put a shiny new twig under Eichel's tree. The talented center has seven goals and 12 points in 15 games so far, and will continue to deliver solid production. Just expect a few slumps like his pre-holiday rut, as he's only 20 and his consistency is still developing.

Eichel lit the lamp on five shots and added a power-play helper during Tuesday's 4-3 win against Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Owners may now exhale -- Eichel is fine. The youngster came out blazing after his injury, but has since slowed down. Before Tuesday's mini-explosion, the 20-year-old had failed to reach the scoresheet in five straight. That's not a normal cold stretch for the explosive 2015 No. 2 pick, but it's no reason to panic. Eichel continues to prove why he's extremely dangerous with the puck and dropped his fourth multi-point outing in just 13 games to date.

Eichel failed to register a point but skated 20:35 and tied with Evander Kane to lead the team with six shots in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to Florida.

EDGE Analysis

Eichel has not been able to light the lamp in his past three games despite registering 14 shots. However, he's played over 20 minutes in back-to-back games, the first time he's done so since returning from a high-ankle sprain, indicating the amount of confidence head coach Dan Bylsma has in the second-year pro. Eichel has five goals and eight points in 10 games, and at this rate is still on pace for 30 goals. He's a must-start every night as one of the league's top young players, and should be able to generate a lot of scoring chances against Carolina on Thursday.

Eichel scored two goals and assisted on another in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

He consistently had Kyle Okposo on his right wing, but saw time with both Matt Moulson (who assisted on both his goals) and Evander Kane (whose goal Eichel assisted) during this game. The 20-year-old phenom is up to eight points in seven games since returning; every time he has the puck, it's must-see TV.
