Eichel has been out for six weeks since leaving the Golden Knights' game on January 11th with a knee injury and appears to be on cue to return from surgery at the late end of his four-to-six-week prognosis. He currently has 19 goals, 25 assists, 173 SOG, 10 PIMs and a +1 plus/minus through 42 games before his injury and will be a welcomed addition to a Golden Knights team that just lost Mark Stone indefinitely to an upper-body injury.

Hill has allowed three or more goals in four straight (0-4-0) after an incredible start to the season.
