Ten seasons skating in the NHL, and Vegas Golden Knights’ Jack Eichel is still turning heads with his stick work and scoring.

The Golden Knights are on the road for the next 10 days; with stops in the Greater New York City area for games against the Islanders, Rangers, Devils, then off to Philadelphia and Columbus, Ohio, before returning home. Coming into Friday’s game with New Jersey at the Prudential Center in Newark, Eichel and his teammates are riding a modest two-game winning streak. Teamwise, Vegas is on a roll. At 12–6–8, with 32 points, the Golden Knights are but one point behind Pacific Division leader Anaheim Ducks.
