Best Knights-Oilers NHL Goal Scorer Props: Jack Eichel Too Much For Edmonton to Handle
Eichel is finally making his first appearance in the Stanely Cup Playoffs after wasting his talents with the Buffalo Sabres for the first six years of his career. It would be an understatement to say Eichel has been making the most of the opportunity.
The Vegas center leads the team with six goals and 13 points throughout the playoffs, scoring in three of the first five games of the Oilers series. He scored a goal and added two assists in the pivotal Game 5 win at home on Friday night. With the three points, Eichel now passes teammate Mark Stone for most postseason points scored by a Golden Knights player in their franchise’s history
The Knights have used Eichel’s efforts to hang with Leon Draisaitl, Connor McDavid and the ridiculous Edmonton offense. They will need more heroics from Eichel and the other top six forwards if they want any chance of putting this series away in Edmonton and moving on to the Conference Final.
