Though it has been a roller coaster ride since the infamous 10-game win streak in November, one thing is certain this season: star forwards like Jack Eichel and Jeff Skinner have been simply mesmerizing.

However, the real pleasant surprise may be the one player that we have all been waiting to see shine since being drafted in 2014.
