Jack Eichel Back In For Sabres On Sunday
4 years agoBuffalo Sabres center Jack Eichel was on the ice for warm-up ahead of his team's clash with the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday afternoon. Eichel, who missed the past two games due to a lower-body injury, will take the ice looking to get back on track after a bumpy start to the campaign. The 24-year-old has registered just two goals in his first 16 games in 2020-2021 and just hasn't quite looked like himself in Buffalo yet. Taken in the first round in most fantasy drafts before the season, Eichel has failed to replicate his true breakout season of 2019-2020 in which he posted 78 points (36 goals, 42 assists) and 227 shots in 68 games. Having lost three of its past four contests, the Sabres are counting on Eichel to lead the way as the team looks to take the next step in its rebuild.
