2. Jack Eichel Has the Winnipeg Jets Number This Year

Throughout the first ten games of the Golden Knights season, Eichel has had some of his best performances this year in Vegas’ two games against the Winnipeg Jets.

Eichel was coming into yesterday’s game after scoring two goals and finishing with a plus-three plus/minus in the first matchup between the Jets and Golden Knights.

In yesterday’s matchup, Eichel played 21:10, had an assist on the Golden Knight’s tying goal in the third period, and then scored the game winning goal on an incredible solo effort in the dying stages of overtime.

Most fans would agree, that Eichel’s game winner was an outstanding goal as he took advantage of a tired Jets group and made a great move to beat Hellebuyck and seal the win for the Golden Knights.
