The Golden Knights could have Jack Eichel in the lineup shortly after the All-Star break, David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports. Eichel was traded to the Golden Knights earlier this season but hasn’t played due to back surgery. Eichel has been practicing with the team since Jan. 12 and is expected to be cleared for contact any day now. Once cleared, it’s just a matter of how many practiced the Golden Knights believe he needs with contact before he is put back into the lineup.
The Golden Knights currently sit first in the Pacific Division with 57 points.
