As was expected, as well as what was assumed for last night, Jack Eichel was a shining star for the Buffalo Sabres against the Minnesota Wild. His performance was everything that was expected of him and more. Fans of the Sabres were not able to watch the game live, but per the calls on WGR radio, there were a number of things that were deliberately apparent with Jack Eichel last night.
The first thing that was very evident from Jack Eichel last night was his command while he was on the ice. As the first line center of the night he was given the responsibilities of one; to maintain offensive pressure, be defensively responsible, and to direct his line mates to where they need to be on the ice.
