3 years agoVegas Golden Knights center Jack Eichel (neck) is making progress in the road to his season debut as he practiced with the team in a full-contact jersey for the first time on Monday. Eichel has spent the season recovering from artificial disk replacement surgery that took place in November, and Monday's practice was an encouraging step for the 25-year-old as he has been cleared for contact, according to head coach Peter DeBoer. Eichel will have immediate fantasy value across all formats upon his return, and a potential top-line role with wingers Mark Stone and Max Pacioretty means that the former second overall draft pick will be in a great situation from a fantasy hockey perspective.--Denis Vondrus - RotoBaller
