Louis is the least-penalized team in the league, but Eichel has gotten 70% of his points away from the power play.
The Blues are 28th in the league by expected goals against per 60 at five-on-five since Halloween, 29th by shots against and 28th by goals against. Louis visiting Vegas gives Eichel a good matchup at that strength too. Those are monster offensive marks and show the upside their line, Eichel included, has on any given night. In nearly 340 minutes together over the last two seasons, that duo helps Vegas create 3.3 expected goals, 39.7 shots and 4.9 actual goals per 60 minutes.
A big reason for that was having Mark Stone next to him at five-on-five. It was a good week for Eichel last week with two goals and five assists with 11 shots in three games.
