Eichel scored a goal on two shots and went minus-3 in Thursday's 3-1 preseason loss to the Avalanche.
Eichel has accumulated four points this preseason, so his offense is already in good shape. The 27-year-old center will continue to be a key part of the Golden Knights' offense in 2024-25 after producing 31 goals and 68 points over 63 regular-season outings a year ago. Eichel could begin the year with Ivan Barbashev and Victor Olofsson on his wings, but Vegas' lack of proven forward depth could lead to many changes during the campaign.
