Jack Eichel Returns for Sabres
7 years agoBuffalo Sabres center Jack Eichel is set to return to the lineup Saturday against Chicago. Coach Phil Housley announced the return Saturday morning, giving fantasy players only a few hours before the 1pm EST game start. Eichel has been practicing on a line with Zemgus Girgensons and Jason Pominville, which based on recent usage would be the second line, and likely an indication that Eichel will be eased back into full action. Eichel has not played since being injured on Feb. 10 and while he may not be 100 percent for Saturday's game, his return is encouraging for fantasy players anxiously waiting for his return. Daily players may want to wait a game or two to see how well Eichel has recovered from the ankle injury.
