Asked about his recent performance after practice on Monday, Eichel gave credit to linemates Victor Olofsson and Sam Reinhart.
"I think Victor and Sam have been tremendous," he said. "I think obviously we know how good of a player Reino is and he's proven that over the last few years, but I think Vic's taken his game to another level over the last however many games.
"You can see him in the O-zone protecting pucks, putting people on his back, you can tell he's really confident right now. I mean, you see him shoot the puck, it's something else. That shot the other night to start the second period, there's not a lot of guys in the world who can shoot the puck like that. It's great to see. I think we're starting to build more chemistry. I think we're just trying to work hard."
