Ex-Sabres Star Jack Eichel Rewarded For Incredible Month

Former Buffalo Sabres forward Jack Eichel has been named the NHL's First Star Month for March.

When looking at how dominant Eichel was for the Golden Knights in March, it is entirely understandable that he has been named the NHL's First Star for it. The former Sabres captain carried the Golden Knights' offense during it, posting eight goals, 15 assists, and 23 points in just 14 games.

Due to his spectacular month, Eichel has now scored 27 goals and set new career highs with 66 assists and 93 points in 72 games this season. It has been an incredible season for the former Sabres star, and he is showing no signs of slowing down. In his last six games alone, he has posted six goals and 13 points. 

The Sabres selected Eichel as the second-overall pick of the 2015 NHL Entry Draft. In 375 games over six seasons in Buffalo, he had 139 goals, 216 assists, and 355 points. Since being traded to Vegas, Eichel has 101 goals and 258 points in 236 contests.
