Besides the first line, the second line has without a doubt been clicking. And one of the core players that has been gearing up for his first playoff appearance is Jordan Eberle. The 26-year-old had a hat trick in Sunday’s win, and finished the season on a four-game point streak, scoring six points over that span.
When it comes to playing a full season, Eberle put up 20 goals and 51 points, marking one of the lower-scoring years of his career. However, he proved to have a much stronger second half to the season, making a case that he is still one of the important parts of the forward lines.
