Rotowire

Rotowire
Eichel (illness) is day-to-day with a lower-body injury and won't join the Knights for their two-game road trip, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports Friday.

While the 29-year-old center has scored just once in his last five games, he has racked up eight helpers over that stretch, including three with the man advantage. Tomas Hertl figures to hold down the first-line center role while Eichel is unavailable.

Curiously, he's still looking for his first power-play tally in 2025-26, but he's hardly been invisible with the man advantage, collecting 15 assists -- second in the NHL to Mikko Rantanen's 17 power-play helpers.
