The Calgary Flames’ nine-game and Edmonton Oilers’ five-game win streaks are among the best in the NHL right now. The Flames, actually, find themselves on a bit of an island, as they are at least four points ahead of any divisional competition, with games in hand.
But the big kahuna this week is Vegas Golden Knights forward Jack Eichel, who made his debut with the club on Wednesday night, after being traded earlier this season and undergoing neck surgery.
That and more in the Pacific Division this week:
Anaheim Ducks (24-19-9)
The Ducks were four games into a winless streak before beating the Vancouver Canucks 7-4 on Saturday night.
