Eichel scores a goal on three shots
Jack Eichel scored a goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Monday’s 4-2 loss to the Stars in Game 4. Eichel put the Golden Knights ahead 2-1 in the second period, but their offense stalled out there. The 27-year-old is riding an eight-game point streak, which includes three goals and three helpers over four playoff contests. The center remains a huge part of the Vegas offense and will look to get his team back on track in Wednesday’s Game 5.
Stars’ Seguin logs assists in back-to-back games
Tyler Seguin logged a power-play assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Monday’s 4-2 win over the Golden Knights in Game 4. Seguin helped out on a Wyatt Johnston equalizer in the second period. This was Seguin’s second helper in as many contests, and he’s added 11 shots on net, 11 hits and a plus-2 rating over four playoff games. The 32-year-old seems to be clicking well on the third line with Evgenii Dadonov and Joe Pavelski, though they’ll likely only be relied on for depth scoring going forward.
