It’s been over a month since Jack Eichel suffered a high ankle sprain at practice and sent Sabres fans into a preseason funk. Exactly six weeks to the day since the Sabres Savior learned he would miss the first two months of the season at best.
It’s been 19 games and counting without #15 on the ice, but this morning, Jack was back.
Eichel joined his teammates on the ice for the first time since October 12 when he went down with that ankle sprain. Greeted with cheers from his fellow Sabres, Eichel was happy to get over a significant milestone in his recovery, he told Sabres.
