Jack Eichel to Miss Wednesday's Game Post-Olympics, Expected Friday Return

Vegas Golden Knights' Jack Eichel will sit out Wednesday's road game against the Los Angeles Kings. The absence is not injury-related but due to an extended stay in Milan after the Olympics, where he and teammate Noah Hanifin picked up golden hardware. The Golden Knights expect the 29-year-old forward to rejoin the team for Friday's road game against Washington, where he is anticipated to resume his role as the top-line center. Eichel has compiled 47 assists and 68 points in 50 appearances this season.
