The center has contributed a total of 21 shots on net, 14 hits, eight blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over seven playoff contests while centering the top line as usual.

Eichel produced an even-strength goal and a power-play assist Thursday in the Golden Knights' 3-2 win over the Wild in Game 6 of their first-round series.

After being held off the scoresheet in the first three games of the series, Eichel came to life as Vegas reeled off three straight wins to clinch a spot in the second round, racking up a goal and five points. The 28-year-old delivered a career-high 94 points over 77 regular-season appearances, and Eichel will need to stay hot as the Knights try to get past the Oilers to reach the Western Conference Finals.

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

Eichel missed four games due to an upper-body injury. He led all Vegas forwards with 21:28 of ice time in the regular-season finale, so there's no need to be worried about his health entering the playoffs. The 28-year-old finished with a career-high 94 points (28 goals, 66 assists) while adding 233 shots on net, 55 blocked shots and a plus-32 rating over 77 appearances. He'll be a massive part of the Golden Knights' offense in the first round versus the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Eichel will miss his fourth straight game. His final chance to play before the playoffs will be versus Vancouver on Wednesday. Eichel has accumulated 27 goals, 93 points and 231 shots on net across 76 appearances this season.

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. In his last four contests, the 28-year-old center was held without a point, leaving him seven points shy of reaching the 100-point threshold for the first time in his NHL career.

EDGE Analysis
