Eichel Distributes Three Helpers
Jack Eichel notched three assists, three shots on goal, five blocked shots and a plus-4 rating in Saturday’s 5-3 win over the Red Wings. Eichel was a leader in multiple ways, setting the tone defensively and also helping out on a majority of the Golden Knights’ goals. The three assists were his first points in three games since he returned from a knee injury. The star center is up to 47 points, 187 shots on net, 45 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 45 contests overall. Eichel should center the top line down the stretch, as long as he can stay healthy.
Daccord Gets no Help in Loss
Joey Daccord stopped 29 of 31 shots in Friday’s 3-0 loss to the Jets. The third goal was an empty-netter. Daccord and Laurent Brossoit kept zeroes on the board through two periods, but the tides turned in favor of the Jets in the third. Over his last two outings, both against the Jets, Daccord has allowed five goals on 64 shots while going 1-1-0. He’s at 17-13-10 with a 2.46 GAA and a .919 save percentage through 41 appearances. The Kraken are back in action versus the Golden Knights on Tuesday, which may be a game for Philipp Grubauer to start since he will have sat for over a week at that point.
