A big step for Jack Eichel as he sheds the no-contact jersey (w/video)
Jack Eichel of the Vegas Golden Knights is celebrating another milestone in his bid to get back in the game. On Monday, Eichel hit the ice with his Vegas Golden Knights teammates without a no-contact jersey on, the first time since being traded to the team on November 4th.
Eichel skated on a reserve line with Nolan Patrick and Michael Amadio.
Eichel's relationship with the Buffalo Sabres deteriorated after it was discovered that he had a herniated disc in his neck. Eichel and his camp wanted artificial disc replacement surgery, while Buffalo's doctors insisted on a disc fusion procedure. Eichel had the ADR operation completed shortly after his trade to Vegas.
