Jack Eichel posts four points in Golden Knights win over Kraken

Fantasy hockey: Eichel's four points Tuesday night look like an outlier against his recent averages of 1.23 points per game, but his underlying play keeps him rostered.

By Fantasy Roundup Staff · October 7, 2026

Jack Eichel recorded one goal and three assists in 18:20 of ice time Tuesday, October 6 as the Golden Knights beat the Kraken 6-2. He added two shots and finished plus-2 in the win.

The four-point night stands well above his recent averages of 1.23 points per game, but it does not change the outlook for a player already producing at a strong rate. His underlying play grades 97 out of 100 among forwards in shots, scoring chances and ice time, a read on how sustainable his scoring is.

Jack Eichel

Eichel averages 0.37 goals and 0.86 assists per game in his recent sample of 197 games, along with 3.4 shots and 0.42 power-play points. He logs 21:02 a night with 3:36 on the power play, ranking first among all Golden Knights skaters in power-play ice time. Tuesday's four-point outing exceeds those norms, but his scoring was already built into his fantasy price.

The Golden Knights have three games left this week, playing Thursday, Saturday and Monday. Eichel remains a hold in all formats based on his recent production and elite underlying metrics. His two shots Tuesday fell short of his 3.4 average, and his power-play points from Tuesday were not included in the game data.

What to do

• Hold Jack Eichel as a top-end center with elite underlying play.

• Start Eichel in all three of his remaining games this week (Thursday, Saturday, Monday).

• Do not overreact to the four-point game, as his value was already established at 1.23 points per game.
