Jack Eichel didn’t make his season debut for the Buffalo Sabres until Nov. 29 because of an injury, and he’s made up for lost time since returning.
The second-year center scored an amazing goal from a very tough angle Tuesday night against the Detroit Red Wings. Eichel made a nice move to elude a Red Wings defenseman and then beat goalie Petr Mrazek upstairs with a perfectly placed shot.
It was Eichel’s sixth goal and ninth point in 13 games this season.
His next game is Thursday night against the Boston Bruins — the team he supported as a kid living in Massachusetts. Eichel has tallied four points in five career games versus the B’s.
