Remember when I talked about Jack Eichel's significance on the Vegas Golden Knights roster? I mentioned how he was crucial to the whole Golden Knights apparatus, providing ample scoring and excellent zone entries. Well, Saturday's game against the Calgary Flames was a time when his services were desperately needed.
The funny thing was that the scoring itself wasn't a problem. Vegas got goals from unexpected sources, including a sniping Kaedan Korczak and Reilly Smith on the breakaway. Still, the Golden Knights needed their superstar in more ways than one.
One perfect example is Joel Farabee's shorthanded goal.
