If Buffalo fans somehow forget this version of Jack Eichel existed, they were just served a cold, hard reminder.
The ex-Sabres captain had a revenge game for the ages Thursday night against his former team, scoring a hat trick — including the game-winner — and adding an assist in the Golden Knights' 7-4 rout in his old barn.
Eichel, who leads the NHL’s top team with 19 points in 15 games, punctuated his second homecoming since being traded last November with an empty net goal, and a cheeky wave to the crowd following the insurance goal.
