Jack Eichel has been criticized throughout his entire career for not having what it takes to take a team to the next level. That's exactly the reputation Eichel is trying to overcome as he looks to make his first playoff appearance of his career. With Vegas Captain, Mark Stone out of the lineup, the success of the team has fallen fully on Eichel's shoulders.
Eichel has taken the challenge and handled it admirably. After a slow stretch to begin the 2023 calendar year, Eichel has found his stride and has 54 points, in 56 games this season.
