LAS VEGAS — Jack Eichel came to Las Vegas in 2021 with lofty expectations that he has mostly fulfilled, including helping lead the Golden Knights to the Stanley Cup championship two seasons ago. Now he has taken his game to an even higher level.

Eichel registered a power-play helper and went plus-2 Thursday in a 4-2 win over St. Louis. Eichel extended his point streak to four games with the helper -- he's notched a goal and four assists during that span.
