Sabres' Jack Eichel scores first NHL goal in debut
Buffalo Sabres center Jack Eichel took an early lead in the Calder Trophy race by firing home his first NHL goal in the third period of Buffalo's 3-1 loss to the Ottawa Senators on Thursday night.
What It Means:
Taking a perfect pass from Marcus Foligno directly in front of the net, Eichel waited for the puck to settle down, then rifled a rocket past Senators' goalie Craig Anderson to narrow the Sabres' deficit to 2-1.
Eichel played 21 minutes, 58 seconds in his debut and finished with three shots and a plus/minus of minus-1.
