Jack Eichel posted one goal and two assists on two shots in 18:00 of ice time in Vegas's 5-2 victory over Chicago on Tuesday, September 29. He finished plus-one with one hit.

The three-point night was impressive but matches the scoring rate Eichel had already established in his recent sample. With 1.23 points per game, 3.4 shots per game and elite underlying numbers, his fantasy value was priced in before this game.

Jack Eichel

Eichel plays 21:02 a night overall and 3:36 on the power play, where he holds the top spot among all Golden Knights skaters. His recent averages show 0.37 goals and 0.86 assists per game, which add up to the 1.23 points per game that Tuesday's three-point line reflected. He adds 0.42 power play points per game, though none of Tuesday's production came with the man advantage.

His underlying play grades 97 out of 100 among forwards, a read on how sustainable his scoring is based on shots, scoring chances and ice time. That elite process rating of 97 out of 100 is the reason Eichel sits among the top centers in the format. Vegas plays three more times this week, all on Friday, Sunday and Tuesday.

What to do

• Keep Eichel in your lineup for all three of his remaining games this week.

• His elite process grade and power play role make him a weekly start at center.

• Do not overreact to one strong game when his recent scoring rate already accounted for this level of production.
