Eichel making most of 1st postseason as Golden Knights prepare for Panthers in Cup final

Associated Press  

LAS VEGAS — Jack Eichel didn’t know what to expect when the NHL playoffs began in April. “It’s where you want to be as a player and been taking a few years for me to get here,” Eichel said. “Having your family around, getting experience with them, they’ve been with you your whole life.” Vegas opens the series Saturday against the Florida Panthers. “He’s works as hard as anybody on the scene.” Getting the chance to play in meaningful games was a major reason Eichel wanted to play for the Knights. “I do that pretty well, too, so we’ve built the connection the past few months.” Vegas coach Bruce Cassidy said Eichel’s game aligns perfectly with the team’s other centers.
