The break could not have come at a better time for the Vegas Golden Knights<\/a>. After losing four games in a row prior to the long break, the team needs to hit the reset button. While also being down key players with injuries, they will want those guys healthy for the stretch run. With the Pacific Division tightly contested, they will need to right the ship fast. One player that needs to get going is Vegas Golden Knights centre, Jack Eichel<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Vegas Golden Knights Jack Eichel Needs To Produce <\/span><\/h2>\n

When it comes to this core group, depth is at its finest. The back end is deep with Alex Pietrangelo<\/a>, Shea Theodore<\/a>, Alec Martinez<\/a>, and Zach Whitecloud<\/a>. Up front is just as lethal with star talent in Mark Stone<\/a>, Jonathan Marchessault<\/a>, Reilly Smith<\/a>, and Chandler Stephenson<\/a>. Add a producing fourth line and a contributing bottom six and it’s in good shape, especially when healthy.<\/span><\/p>\n
