The worst is confirmed for NHL star player and Stanley Cup Champion
The Vegas Golden Knights faced another setback on Saturday with star forward Jack Eichel sidelined due to an injury.
Coach Bruce Cassidy confirmed the news, stating that the injury was discovered during a routine checkup when Eichel reported soreness.
While no specific timeline for Eichel's return was provided, it seems this absence will extend beyond a single game.
With Eichel joining a list of injured players, including Bjornfot, Carrier, Hill, Hutton, Karlsson, Lehner, Miromanov, and Theodore, it's likely he will be placed on the injured reserve list.
