EDGE Analysis
Eichel and Mark Stone set each other up for goals in this contest. The goal was Eichel's first in five games, but he's been productive with six assists in that same span. The top-line center has five multi-point efforts with a total of three goals, 12 assists, 21 shots on net, nine blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over nine appearances this season.

Eichel recorded two assists, including one in the power play, in Friday's 6-4 win over the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
Eichel has been nothing short of outstanding for the Golden Knights this season, cracking the scoresheet in all but one of his eight appearances while tallying 11 assists already. The 27-year-old playmaker should continue to have ample opportunities to produce on one of the best offensive in the league due to his roles on the first line and top power-play unit.

Eichel notched a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Eichel had a five-game point streak snapped Saturday in Florida, but he got right back on the scoresheet Tuesday. The star center has been one of the best in the league early on, earning two goals and nine assists over seven outings. He's added 15 shots on net, eight blocked shots and a plus-6 rating while playing in a first-line role.

Eichel set up two goals Thursday in a 4-3 loss to the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
His season-long point streak now stands at five games and 10 points (two goals, eight assists). Eichel's most-productive season came in Buffalo in 2018-19 when he put up 82 points, including 54 assists. But since then, injuries have kept him from taking that big leap forward in his career. Until perhaps now. Eichel has put up better than a point-per-game over the last two seasons (134 points in 130 games), and he's finally looking like the superstar that some projected he'd be during his draft season.

Eichel scored a goal in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran pivot is off to a fantastic start - the snipe extended his season-beginning point streak to four games and eight points (two goals, six assists). Eichel, Mark Stone and Ivan Barbashev are the hottest line in hockey so far, and Vegas seems content to load up that top line and let them loose. So far, so good.

Eichel recorded a power-play assist in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
It wasn't a multi-point effort, but Eichel remained hot to begin the season. He has a goal, six helpers, nine shots on net and a plus-4 rating through three contests. The 27-year-old center has earned two of his assists on the power play, and he figures to continue to be a prominent part of the Golden Knights' offense throughout the campaign.

Eichel scored a goal on five shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Friday's 4-3 win over the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Eichel has opened the season with a pair of multi-point efforts after his four-assist game Opening Night. The 27-year-old center's goal Friday tied the game at 1-1, and he assisted on Ivan Barbashev's go-ahead marker. In addition to his six points, Eichel has eight shots, three blocked shots and a plus-5 rating. He's in no danger of losing his spot on the top line and is a must-play fantasy option with his hot start.

Eichel compiled four assists in Wednesday's 8-4 victory over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Three of Eichel's four assists came at even strength in Wednesday's win. The 27-year-old added three shots, three blocks and a plus-3 rating in 20:37 of ice time. Eichel is centering Vegas' top line and No. 1 power-play group, so he should be able to shatter the 68 points he registered last season so long as he can stay healthy. Eichel and the Golden Knights will be back in action Friday night versus the Blues.

Eichel scored a goal on two shots and went minus-3 in Thursday's 3-1 preseason loss to the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Eichel has accumulated four points this preseason, so his offense is already in good shape. The 27-year-old center will continue to be a key part of the Golden Knights' offense in 2024-25 after producing 31 goals and 68 points over 63 regular-season outings a year ago. Eichel could begin the year with Ivan Barbashev and Victor Olofsson on his wings, but Vegas' lack of proven forward depth could lead to many changes during the campaign.

Eichel scored a goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Stars in Game 4.
EDGE Analysis
Eichel put the Golden Knights ahead 2-1 in the second period, but their offense stalled out there. The 27-year-old is riding an eight-game point streak, which includes three goals and three helpers over four playoff contests. The center remains a huge part of the Vegas offense and will look to get his team back on track in Wednesday's Game 5.
