Sabres Daily: Eichel Eats Up Edmonton, Kane Out Of Control

Published

on

Connor McDavid and former Buffalo Sabres team captain Jack Eichel never really developed a rivalry comparable to Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin, but that might be changing with the top two picks in the 2015 Draft facing each other in the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

 

McDavid and teammate Leon Draisaitl were dominant in the first two games of the best-of-seven series in Las Vegas, but Eichel responded with the series shifting to Edmonton for Game 3, setting up linemate Jonathan Marchessault for a pair of goals and scoring his fifth goal of the postseason in a 5-1 Golden Knights victory on Monday. After missing the playoffs in his first seven seasons with the Sabres and Vegas, the big center has 10 points (five goals, five assists) in eight games.

Sabres In Case You Missed It

  • Sabres Prospect Neuchev Signed To Entry-Level Contract
  • Former Sabres Enjoying Success In Stanley Cup Playoffs
  • Owen Power Nominated For Calder
  • Adams Looking Ahead To Address Areas Of Need
  • Prospect Sandin-Pellikka Could Be Option For Sabres At ’23 Draft
  • Hawks Win Lottery, Sabres Select 13th

Former Sabre Evander Kane was noticeable for the wrong reasons for the second game in a row. After repeatedly sucker-punching a prone Keegan Kolesar in Game 2, the Oilers forward cross-checked Vegas defenseman Alex Pietrangelo at the end of the first period.
