Jack Eichel News: Plates two apples in loss

Eichel recorded two assists and four shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Islanders.

Eichel had the primary helper on Noah Hanifin's opening goal before picking up the secondary assist on a marker by Ivan Barbashev early in the third period. Eichel is up to 26 assists, 38 points and 114 shots on net through 29 games this season. The 29-year-old center has a pair of points in each of his last three games, tying him for eighth in the league in points. After a career-high 94 points through 77 regular-season games a year ago, Eichel should contend for a similar number this season while leading one of the league's best offensive groups.
