Jack Eichel made his triumphant return for the Vegas Golden Knights on Friday. They desperately needed any returning players that they could get, especially after losing Brayden McNabb on a week-to-week basis. Would Vegas be able to capitalize on their superstar's return against a lowly St. Louis Blues team?
No.
The St. Louis Blues shocked the Golden Knights on Friday afternoon, 4-3. Goals by Oskar Sundqvist, Alexey Torpochenko, and Justin Faulk helped the Blues win. Meanwhile, the Golden Knights got goals from Keegan Kolesar (his first of the season!), Mark Stone, and Pavel Dorofeyev.
